US EditionLawmakers, Others Call for Trump’s Removal Under 25th Amendment After Easter Iran Message
Lawmakers and commentators said Trump’s threats and Easter message showed erratic behavior as he warned of new strikes on Iran and set a 48-hour deadline.
- On Easter Sunday, President Donald Trump posted threats against Iran on Truth Social, warning of a 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day' unless the Strait of Hormuz opens.
- The president's profane message, which included threats to Iranian infrastructure, follows his 48-hour ultimatum regarding the critical waterway's shipping access.
- Senator Chris Murphy responded by urging the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, calling the remarks 'completely, utterly unhinged.'
- Iran's Embassy in Thailand condemned the remarks, criticizing the tone as 'blood thirsty' and stating the president's language degrades global diplomacy.
- The 25th Amendment, a measure of last resort for presidential incapacitation, remains subject to debate as critics question whether the Cabinet will act on fitness concerns.
