Top House Democrat calls on Donald Trump's family to 'engineer a clinical intervention' saying 'this guy is having a complete and total meltdown' after president called himself The Chosen One and the Second Coming
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is chair of the House Democratic caucus
He said he hopes the Trump family has the 'good sense' to do 'intervention'
President Trump Wednesday called himself the 'chosen one' to take on China
He retweeted a conspiracy theorist who said Israeli Jews consider him the 'second coming' and the 'King of Israel'
He also blasted 'nasty' comments by the Danish prime minister for the way she rejected his entreaty to buy Greenland
Jeffries has not come out for House impeachment efforts
By accusing Trump's cabinet of lacking fortitude, he was needling them to take action to vote to declare Trump unfit to serve – in a constitutional move designed for when a president is incapacitated or otherwise unfit.
Jeffries didn't explain what he meant by a family clinical intervention. Trump has decided to run for reelection, and has been aggressively campaigning around the country, while attacking political rivals.
On Wednesday, in another remark blasted by critics, Trump accused Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats of being 'disloyal' to Israel and fellow Jews. Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, who is Jewish, blasted the president for using the 'trope' of dual loyalty, which has been used to target Jews for centuries.
Under the 25th Amendment, In a case where a president resists, the matter gets thrown to the Congress, making it a highly unlikely gambit.
That is an argument that Jeffries and others have been making against impeachment, where even if the House were to act, the effort would almost certainly die in the Republican-controlled Senate.

. . . or an outright assassination attempt.
Please, don’t use that unspeakable A word!!
Considering the virulent TDS that continues to rage out of control, it’s a wonder something horrific hasn’t happened to our beloved POTUS.
I still remember when Reagan was shot and his press secretary James Brady was critically wounded.
God, please protect our magnificent President and awaken enough sane voters to ensure his reelection next year!
They are so easily trolled.
Trump is playing with them like a cat with a mouse.
Obama also said this is the moment the Oceans Rise slowed and the earth begin to heal. Thing is Obama really believed it.
Don Jr and Eric should tweet back to Hakeem that they think their dad is king of the world so...
Allow me to paraphrase his actual comments. “Of all the presidents who could have fought the trade war with China, I am the chosen one”.
DUmmies have a thread going about how they’ll force Trump out of the WH after he loses in 2020...
They sound about as dumb as some here did when they worried the same about Obama.
obama did say that also.... Isn’t it strange how much bret forgets...
he is a testament on how to dislike a President of the United States.... a country the media has torn apart.
the “media” needs a new name... they are the leftist party.. they need to be labeled... they long ago forgot to “report”.. instead the gossip and lie...
“...Please, don’t use that unspeakable A word!!...”
Sorry to upset ya so...didn’t mean to.
However, I live in the real world, with real realities and with real demonRATs.
I know how they think & act. I would put NOTHING past them and we need to be prepared for anything they do.
I, too, pray for our POTUS and his family. I’m sure he has the best security possible.
“Hakeem”?
Wasn’t that the bad guy from “Aladdin”?
The media is more propagandist then gossips.
Wow! The Dims are back to this AGAIN?-)
The “Deep State” is running on fear.
Yes Trump family members, join the coup.
Screw top democRats!
Hakeem Jeffries has an IQ of around 58.
It is and the media is in full blown fake news attack. Saw a poll on MSN that says Trump has a 62 percent disapproval. Don’t you believe it.
More like 5.8.
I thought Pelosi was the top House Democrat.
