Notably, criticism has not been limited to Democrats. A handful of Republicans, including Representative Don Bacon and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have publicly expressed discomfort with Trump’s rhetoric and behavior, even if they stop short of endorsing the 25th Amendment. Their comments suggest growing unease within the party, particularly among lawmakers concerned about national security and international credibility.
At the center of the storm is Donald Trump, a figure who has always thrived on confrontation and spectacle. Trump’s defenders argue that his language, while provocative, is political theater rather than evidence of incapacity. They point out that voters were well aware of his temperament when they re-elected him, and that disagreements over policy or tone do not meet the constitutional standard for removal.
