Former CIA director John Brennan steps forward on Saturday and openly calls for President Donald Trump’s removal from office. He tells MSNBC’s MS Now that the 25th Amendment fits Trump perfectly. He says the president now appears clearly unhinged. Brennan points straight to Trump’s recent explosive warning. Trump said that Iran’s entire civilisation will die if the regime ignores his ultimatum.
Brennan Brands Trump Unhinged and a National Liability
The ex-spy chief stresses that Trump controls immense firepower, including the full US nuclear arsenal. He says this power means Trump poses a direct danger to millions of lives. Moreover, Brennan argues that the president has become too much of a liability. He says Trump should not remain commander-in-chief. He made the remarks just one day after the high-level US-Iran talks in Islamabad collapsed without any deal. As a result, fresh fears grow. The fragile ceasefire could break, and fighting might resume.
Democrats Rally Behind 25th Amendment Push
More than 70 Democrats in Congress already demand action. They want Vice President JD Vance and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. The 1967 measure lets them remove a president. It applies when a president cannot discharge his duties. Still, chances of success remain almost zero. Vance and the entire cabinet continue to show rock-solid loyalty to Trump. In addition, Brennan himself faces an ongoing criminal investigation. The Justice Department ordered it as part of what critics call the president’s personal vendetta against former officials.
The former CIA director’s comments add powerful fuel to a growing national debate. Trump’s aggressive language about destroying Iran has alarmed lawmakers across the aisle. Yet Brennan’s call carries special weight. He once led America’s top intelligence agency. For now, the 25th Amendment debate intensifies. The world watches to see whether cooler heads can prevent another dangerous escalation in the Middle East.
