Trump: We’re Talking About Reopening Insane Asylums

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Part of the problem is we use to have mental institutions. And I said this yesterday, we had a mental institution where you take a sicko like this guy, he's a sick guy on so many sides. And you bring him to a mental health institution, those institutions are largely closed because communities didn’t want them. Communities didn’t want to spend the money for them, so you don’t have any intermediate ground. You can put them in jail because they haven’t done anything yet, but you know he's going to do something. So whether it be talking seriously about opening mental health institutions again, and in some cases, reopening. I can tell you a New York, the governors in New York did a very, very bad thing, when they closed our mental institutions, so many of them. You have these people living on the streets. And I can say that in many cases, throughout the country, that they are very dangerous. They should not be there. So we are going to be talking about mental institutions, and when you have some person like this, that you can bring him into a mental institution. And they can see what they can do. But we got to get them out of our communities."
