Trump’s latest outburst over Iran – promising a “power plant day, and bridge day” if Tehran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz – has jolted even those used to his rhetoric. The profanity-laced warning, capped with “you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” didn’t just inflame tensions abroad; it triggered alarm at home about who is steering American power.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy openly urged Trump’s Cabinet to study the Twenty-fifth Amendment, calling the president “completely, utterly unhinged” and warning he “is going to kill thousands more.” The amendment’s rarely discussed fourth section suddenly feels less theoretical: JD Vance and the Cabinet could, in extreme circumstances, declare Trump unable to serve, forcing a bruising constitutional showdown in Congress. And when even Marjorie Taylor Greene calls the president’s words “evil,” the question is no longer whether people are worried – but how close America is to a crisis of command.
