25th Amendment Explained And

The walls are closing in on Donald Trump.

Allies are rattled, markets are spooked, and even some Republicans are whispering the unthinkable.

A president obsessed with buying Greenland, threatening wars across

Latin America, and branding grieving Americans “terrorists” has pushed Washington to breaking point.

Behind the noise of Trump’s second term lies a darker, more fragile reality: a presidency increasingly defined by erratic gambles and escalating threats.

His fixation on acquiring Greenland at any cost strained NATO alliances, rattled European leaders, and

forced a humiliating climbdown at Davos that exposed deep fractures in US foreign policy.

At home, the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents ignited national outrage, as the administration responded not with empathy,

but with labels of “domestic terrorist” and claims of an impending “massacre” that video evidence failed to support.

These moments have fused into a single, urgent question: is Trump still fit to wield the immense power of the presidency?

Democrats argue that Section 4 of the 25th Amendment offers a constitutional escape hatch,

transferring authority to Vice President JD Vance if Congress and the cabinet deem Trump unfit.

Yet the same forces that alarm his critics – his iron grip on the MAGA base, his loyal cabinet, and

terrified Republican lawmakers – make such a move almost impossible.

For now, the 25th Amendment remains a specter, a reminder that the system has a last resort, even if it may never be used.
