Florida woman stabbed herself because she was ‘tired of living in Trump’s country’

A Florida woman stabbed herself three times with a kitchen knife and told responding officers that President Trump was to blame.

Officers found the unidentified woman standing outside her home in Palmetto, Fla., bleeding from her hands, legs, and face, according to a partially redacted report obtained by the Smoking Gun.

After being asked what was wrong, the woman responded, “I’m tired of living in Trump’s country, I’m tired of Trump being president.”

Police found large amounts of blood on the floors of the woman’s home, including the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Emergency services transported her to Blake Medical Center. She told police that she had been “Baker Acted before” because of self-harm.

Florida’s Baker Act, passed in 1971, allows people with mental illnesses to be involuntarily institutionalized for a period of 72 hours.
