Trump Faces 25th Amendment Removal Call After 4 AI Posts on Truth Social

3 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · Sep 15

Summary

  • Ben Meiselas urged Trump’s impeachment, removal and possible use of the 25th Amendment after a Monday Truth Social spree that he said showed a worsening mental state.
  • Four later AI posts capped a broader rant in which Trump called extinction fears a “HOAX,” cast himself as AI’s lone safeguard and warned supposed “Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers” to “BEWARE!”
  • Other posts widened the outburst, with the 80-year-old president blaming diesel costs on the Russia-Ukraine war, reaffirming his $5,000 “Trump Dividends” pledge and claiming Iran again wants a deal.
  • The latest backlash adds to scrutiny of Trump’s conduct and fitness, with critics tying the episode to his prior civil liability for sexual assault and fraud and other controversies Meiselas cited.
