Countless calls have been raised for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Donald Trump after his profane Easter morning Truth Social post aimed at Iran, amid fears he’s “gone insane.”
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F--kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the 79-year-old Christian-identifying president posted on the commemoration of Christ’s resurrection.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy wrote on Twitter: “If I were in Trump’s Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.”
Elsewhere on Twitter, former Trump devotee Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a lengthy post in which she urged the administration to “intervene in Trump’s madness.” She added: “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”
Oddly, just a couple of weeks ago, Trump joked about the idea of the 25th Amendment being raised against him.
Asked about his plans for the Iran war at a press conference on March 26, Trump first told the “young lady” journalist that he didn’t want to “embarrass” her as he thought she was a “friendly reporter.”
He then said that he couldn’t reveal his plans. “If I did, I wouldn’t be sitting here for long. I’d probably—what is it called, the 25th Amendment?” he asked.
“They’d institute the 25th Amendment,” he said to a giggling Pete Hegseth, adding: “Which they didn’t do with Biden, which is shocking.”
The sentiment is quickly gaining traction online—and may not be as strongly opposed by his shifting MAGA base as Trump would like, as his unauthorized war against Iran rages on.
According to a recent Economist-YouGov poll, only 14 percent of Americans support sending U.S. troops to Iran, with a much larger 62 percent opposed, and 24 percent on the fence.
GOP allies have warned that the ongoing war could shatter Trump’s fan club completely. Meanwhile, amid mixed messaging from Republicans in office, insiders have confirmed U.S. intelligence assessments that Iran is nowhere near as “decimated” as the POTUS claims.
