It’s not the first time Trump has faced calls to step down since he returned to the White House in January

Donald Trump’s administration is facing another round of calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office in the wake of his remarks to an unprecedented assembly of the nation’s military leaders.

Trump’s Cabinet and then-Vice President Mike Pence faced similar demands in the aftermath of the January 6 attack, when a mob of the president’s supporters stormed the halls of Congress to derail the certification of an election he lost.

And it’s not the first time Trump has faced calls to step down since he returned to the White House in January. Liberal commentators and critics on social media routinely demand his Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment.

    No. He got impeached multiple times already. Under this government, you ask whether he can be impeached AND removed!?

    There’s also more of a informational bubble around his opposition this time around fueled by predatory and even malicious social network algorithms. Trump’s health is not even remotely that bad yet, and this whole idea of pushing it now may hamper or even prevent pushing it later if and when Trump’s health truly gets worse and GQP can’t really argue otherwise. It is also a distraction to shift from all the real, horrible, and devastating reasons Trump should be removed, which way surpasses those he was impeached for during his first term, to “Oh, his health might be bad”.
