Following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bringing up the 25th amendment today at a press conference, President Trump indicated that he would not stand for speculation of that sort.
The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, allows for the vice president to become acting president if is determined that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
He retweeted a tweet by “Black conservative” Samantha Marika which said that Pelosi’s comment “just tells you that the Democrats are already plotting to get Trump out once he wins.”
The president suggested that instead, “Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!”

Earlier, Trump had retweeted Arizona House Rep. Andy Biggs, who said, “Congressional Democrats have not stopped their quest to remove President Trump from office since the day he was sworn into office, working night and day to overturn the will of Americans.
Biggs added, “Here is another installment of their pathetic series” and shared the Fox News article about her comment. Biggs also said, “It is TIME to remove Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House” and shared a September 7th Op-Ed that he wrote about it.

Trump also has retweeted Tennessee Rep. Mark Green, who echoed Biggs by saying, “I wouldn’t put it past Speaker Pelosi to stage a coup. She has already weaponized impeachment, what’s to keep her from weaponizing the 25th amendment? We need a new Speaker!”
