Trump says change 25th Amendment to oust VPs who conspire to ‘cover up’ incapacity of president: ‘That’s what they did!’

www.mediaite.com Trump Says Change 25th Amendment To Oust VPs Who Conspire to ‘Cover Up’ Incapacity of President: ‘That’s What They Did!

Former President Donald Trump vowed to change the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of the vice president if they hide the "incapacity of the president."

Former President Donald Trump vowed to change the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of the vice president if they hide the “incapacity of the president.”

During a Saturday rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Trump offered a new proposal to modify the 25th Amendment. Trump and his supporters have often attacked Joe Biden by alleging he is mentally unfit to serve as president while claiming Kamala Harris has hid this fact from the public.

The 25th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution is designed to set up a line of succession if the president dies or becomes incapacitated. It allows the vice president to become president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office by impeachment.

Dumbest shit I’ve heard from Trump all day.

- “Doctor Hannibal Lecter, he will have you for dinner. You know that he will have you for dinner.”

  Hopefully he meant for the day.

Amendments are apparently just one more thing that Trump doesn’t understand.

51
- Changing amendments is no problem when you have judges to "reinterpret" them at will
  
  26
- The list of things he does understand would be much shorter.

Meanwhile, JD Vance sits in the corner sweating

And not just cos he's sitting on a particularly sexy couch

50
- If he's sweating, it's only because he's afraid that Trump will die before the election.
  
  I swear that Trump's handlers and/or Peter Thiel got him to pick Vance because Vance is all in on Project 2025. They don't give a crap about Trump as long as he lives long enough for the election to be stolen for him. Then when he drops we'll be stuck with President Vance who will gleefully run with all the fascist crap they can think of.

  only if President Vance can get off the couch.
  
  (excuse me, I just vommited writing that.)

- Pence just whistling and walking away...

He really wants to run against Joe Biden still.

He wants a mechanism to get rid of Vance

Both?
45
- He has no sense of irony.

  yeah pretty clearly this on top of #s 1/2. He's been saying people convicted of a crime need to always serve time behind bars, yet his convicted ass remains outside
  
  3
- Is it he knows that if he wins Vance can get him removed because of the dementia?

Good! The Constitution OF COURSE can be Changed! UNLESS it's AFTER a bunch of 6 Year Olds get Murdered then the Constitution is PERFECT DON'T TOUCH IT LET ME KILL CHILDREN I'M PRO LIFE!

At this point, we're watching Trump disintegrate day by day and virtually minute by minute.

I'm not sure if he's even going to make it to the election. It's really starting to look like he's going to come apart at the seams before that.

26
- I would like to believe that but there is way too much energy behind this guy. He would have to implode horrifically.

  No - I mean Trump personally. Not the Trump campaign, which is a separate thing.
  
  Yeah - the campaign, between the cultish rank and file and the cynically power-hungry donors and operatives - still has a lot of energy.
  
  But Trump the person is visibly coming apart at the seams.

Can't congress just impeach the VP?

19
- they can also impeach the president, and, in fact, impeached Trump twice, for all the good it did.
  
  45
  
  The impeachment process relies on good faith of both parts of Congress. The Senate, controlled by Republicans, at first denied there was evidence, then when presented with obvious evidence decided that they were okay with it and no punishment was needed on a verdict already established (the actual impeachment from the House). It's like the jurors agreed there was a crime, but the judge said it wasn't a big deal and let him free.

He's projecting, again. What did his whole administration do, but cover for him?

He's threatened and taking a scattershot approach.

14
- It's called narcisstic collapse.

  It sure is.

Is he almost dead already?

How about now?

10
He’s just mad pence is worse at it.

Also that would be an amendment.

Furthermore he’s the sort of person who’d lose his shit upon learning FDR couldn’t walk.

Dotard saying dotard things

I know that he doesn't like Mike Pence anymore, but this is a bit too far.

I'm not a fan of this. The government covers up things for the sake of stability and this is one of those things. If your president is incapacitated, he doesn't resign, and isn't removed, publicly admitting that he's incapacitated will welcome all types of attacks from our enemies.

5
No way in hell Trump can get 3/4 of states to ratify an amendment to the constitution. This guy is a fucking clown.

Butthurt little baby sez what now?

Why is there all that glare on trump? Is he in a plastic box or sometime?

4
- Yes, he's doing a Gabby Giffords at many of his rallies lol
  
  3
  
  Oh, what does that mean?
  
  2
...so he wants to retro actively oust Pence?

Nutjob.

Projection as usual.
