Twitter Users Demand '25th Amendment Now’ After Bonkers New Trump Claims
President Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked an ally for refusing to sell him part of its country, declared himself “the chosen one” and quoted someone who called him “King of Israel.”
He also claimed he could singlehandedly change the 14th Amendment of the Constitution by ending birthright citizenship.
To cap the day off, he cited auto pioneer and infamous anti-Semite Henry Ford in a message on Twitter.
That was enough for many of his critics to demand action from within Trump’s own administration, calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, causing hashtags such as #25thAmendment and #25thAmendmentNow to trend:
Quite understandably trending. #25thAmendmentNow pic.twitter.com/T4pnw2ik4c

"I am the chosen one."
He's not just talking about trade.
He truly thinks he's the chosen one, and so does his die-hard base of 35% of Americans who will never leave him.
Impeach. #25thAmendmentNow. Giant Meteor.
I don't care. He just needs to go.pic.twitter.com/7gr25uWTJG— Holly Figueroa O'Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) August 21, 2019

If you want to save the 14th Amendment, invoke the 25th Amendment

#25thAmendmentNow is trending but it won’t be easy to use the 25th to oust him because all his character flaws were already flagrant when he was elected. He did not suddenly become unfit

It's one thing to talk about yourself in the third person, and claim American Jews are #DisloyalToTrump.
But now he's calling himself the King of Israel? The 2nd coming of God?
CONGRESS: The insane narcissism is off the charts. He's BEGGING for the #25thAmendmentNow.

#25thAmendmentNow and #ImpeachTrumpNow should be trending every single day until it happens.

The way things are going, one expects that the first half of 2020 will feature Vice President Pence racing feverishly to get the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment before Trump can dump Pence at the Republican convention.
