With a growing number of Democrats openly questioning President Trump’s mental health. Justifying their questions by pointing to Trump’s habit of making demonstrably false claims. And now that narrative has grown louder as CNN's State of The Union just discussed invoking the 25th Amendment unless President Trump "gets a grip"

Good comment, but I disagree with the statement “they need to have an open mind.”

An open mind means you have no convictions. An open mind means you’ll fall for anything. They need to think rationally and critically, considering facts instead of feelings.

“Have those morons even read the 25th?”

That was my first thought too.

Pence and a majority of Cabinet Officers.

we face a HUGE problem....

I was saying this long before the Nov 8th election.

Trump's greatest threat is from WITHIN.

He's attempting to overturn the feeding trough of BILLIONS and BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, as well as destroy the LONG TIME pecking order of those feeding at the trough.

I still have faith that he WILL succeed.

The Left and media are proving every day that they are the ones with the mental illness. Since Pres Trump’s election, the Left/Dems/media have kept up non-stop chatter about either impeaching Trump or using the 25th Amendment. And, what is their true rationale, evidence and “justification” for either of these actions: That they disagree with President Trump and loved Obama’s corrupt administration.

My wife and I will unleash our own retribution to stop these people from taking down Trump.

We have both said we would volunteer and donate maximally wherever it will hurt these b@stards the most, while helping Trump. We will dip into our retirements and work extra to accomplish this.

He can succeed as he has lots of talent. If they don’t bump him off, god forbid! But they could do that you know -— they seem to be consciousness

Justifying their questions by pointing to Trump’s habit of making demonstrably false claims.

There was an interesting statement given on Fox News last night, I don't remember who said it, it was during a talk about the mainstream media versus President Trump stuff.

Statement more or less said "It is normal for politicians to lie or make broken promises, and you can't really object to it as it is normal practice. However, the media is relied upon to report facts accurately and not to lie or mislead; when the media does so they're breaking their reason for existing."

I believe you are right about that.

If the Vice President and the other body created by Congress determined that the President was incapacitated, the VP would become Acting President. If the President disputes the issue, Congress convenes and has to agree by a 2/3 vote of both houses that the President is unable to carry on his duties. So even if Pence were to go along with this, he would probably be Acting President only briefly.

This is all a Democratic pipe dream. That they will decide that Trump needs to be killed is, in my opinion, a real danger. At least hearing what they have been saying lately, I wouldn't put anything past them.

Better look before you leap, Mr. Democrats. It may not end like you envision it. Myself, I stand with President Trump. He leads, I follow. Again, let your conscious be your guide.

Some of the biggest liars on the planet keep attacking Trump for lying—what an Orwellian world we live in! There is, of course, nothing Trump could do or not do that would in any way influence the MSM’s narratives. They were going to try everything they could against him regardless. They are infuriated that he is brilliantly running circles around them, showing them up to be the evil, manipulative fools that they obviously are, while fighting back as they continually slander him and twist the news to their own partisan agendas.

No one on the planet should ever accept the idea that CNN is a news network ever again. They are moving beyond being a joke into the territory of anti-democratic, anti-American, treasonous behavior. These people with their in-your-face Goebbels-like methods are undermining our nation and its future. If Trump can help destroy the MSM propaganda machine, it may well be the greatest achievement of his presidency.

Anything happen to President Trump or any of his family. It is a new ball game. The Democrats need to thing long and hard[I doubt if they do, but they should]about the can of worms they are opening.If any harm comes to President Trump or any member of his family, neither the police nor George Soros will be able to protect the Democrats. At this point in time, the Democrats believe that they are above the law. But.......

There is an concerted effort organized by Hussein 0bama and probably the clintons, and financed by Soros, to undo the result of the election, basically a coup d’etat. Certainly Trump and his close advisers must be aware that this is taking place. The question is what will be his response.

Yes. What will he be able to do about it. I think it’s the first time such a heavily- bankrolled and highly- organized effort has been made to unseat our elected government - there are few obvious defensive strategies. But certainly the SorozNazi evil dynasty can be broken up by prosecuting them and putting the $ into a victims’ compensation fund

Every thing you describe is after the fact a President is no longer President.

That was my point.<[p>The article implies the 25th can be used to depose a President
