“President Trump suggested Thursday that the United States can tackle its gun violence problem in part by building more psychiatric institutions and reopening facilities that were shuttered decades ago,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Trump: “We’re looking at the whole gun situation. I do want people to remember the words ‘mental illness.’ These people are mentally ill… I think we have to start building institutions again because, you know, if you look at the ’60s and ’70s, so many of these institutions were closed.”
