‘The 25th Amendment Was Written with Donald Trumps in Mind,’ Ex-CIA Director Says

Brennan said Trump’s Iran rhetoric shows he is unfit to command the military and nuclear arsenal, as more than 70 Democrats back review.

  • Former CIA director John Brennan called for President Donald Trump's removal via the 25th Amendment, labeling him "mentally ill" and unfit to command nuclear military capabilities following recent threats against Iran.
  • Brennan's demand follows Trump's Easter Sunday Truth Social post warning that "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran failed to reopen the Strait, which Brennan cited as evidence of dangerous behavior.
  • Removing Trump would require Vice President Vance and a majority of the 16-member cabinet to declare the president incapacitated, an outcome analysts described as extremely unlikely given Trump's loyalist administration.
  • Beyond Brennan, Democrats in Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have called for Trump's ousting this month, reflecting widespread concern about his fitness for office and military control.
  • Brennan's criticism contrasts with his previous silence on President Joe Biden, drawing accusations of partisan bias, while Brennan faces ongoing scrutiny over the Russiagate scandal and his referral to the Department of Justice.
