Trump's Iran Threats Spark 25th Amendment Calls

On April 7th, Democrats in Congress are pushing hard for Trump's cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office after his. Wild threats against Iran. Over 20 damn lawmakers say he's unfit, pointing to posts where he demanded Iran open the Shred of Hormuz or face total destruction. Republicans? Dead silence so far. Trump ramped it up with curse-filled rants on social media, Easter Sunday, warning of hellfire if no deal by his deadline. He's talked about wiping out a whole civilization and hitting civilian targets, stuff that breaks international rules. Even some on the right, like ex rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, joined the calls for the 25th. Lawmakers from Rashida Taob, to Ilhan Omar, labeled him unhinged and dangerous with the nuclear codes. Critics say his rambling speech as an insults to allies show mental instability. It echoes how Republicans hammered Biden on cognitive decline for years, right up to that brutal debate last June.

Now Trump's spacing heat from former allies like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, who call his Iran talk a betrayal of no more forever wars. But Capitol Hill Republicans, many Iran hawks anyway, aren't budging. Experts say the cabinet's loyalty makes removal a long shot. This partisan split highlights the hypocrisy in Washington's scrutiny for one octogenarian press, but not the other. With tensions boiling, the real question is, if anyone's spine will kick in before lines get crossed for good.
