The former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan has added his name to growing calls for the president to be ousted on grounds that he is unfit for the job, arguing that the US constitution’s 25th amendment addressing involuntary removal from office was “written with Donald Trump in mind”.
Brennan, who served as head of the spy agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, told MS Now on Saturday that Trump’s recent volatile remarks about destroying Iranian civilization and the danger he posed to so many lives merited his removal from the Oval Office.
“This person is clearly unhinged,” he said. “I think the 25th amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind.”
Brennan added that Trump was too much of a liability to be allowed to continue to be commander in chief. He had immense firepower at his disposal, including the US nuclear arsenal.
There’s another amendment written with people like Trump in mind too, but since that one involves bloodshed people really don’t want to go for it. Neither do I, frankly, not if there is any other way. Think we may be running out of road on other options though. I can only hope things are resolved before it becomes necessary. Trump is a tyrant, however and he acts as though he is a king. Founding fathers were pretty clear on what to do about those. Hopefully more civil methodology will prevail.
Agreed
As long as you keep having hope things will change, things will only get worse.
