  In this article we present our exploratory research into the occurrence of
ageist attitudes within the discussion related to the US 2016 presidential
election. We use natural processing techniques to analyze the content tweets
related to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Content analysis shows that
although ageist attitudes are scarce in the discussion, they are mostly focused
on Hillary Clinton rather than Donald Trump. Also, ageist arguments against
Donald Trump appear mostly as a reply to controversies connected with the
health of Hillary Clinton.
