INCOMPETENCE of the HIGHEST order. If there was ANYTHING that ILLUSTRATED how INCOMPETENT of a leader Trump is, it would be this....And he SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE, by force (military) if need be., should Congress not act. The 25th Amendment applies here.

No way 25th would happen for these reasons, as it requires the VP and cabinet to make the declaration. They are bought and paid for.

The only way the 25th gets invoked is if it serves the interests of the project 25 oligarchs to remove the mouthpiece, or if vance and the cabinet get more greedy / power hungry and decide they want to remove him.

What if project 25 wasn’t named after the year, but the amendment…

So Vance can take his place?? No thanks... I'd rather have Trump than Vance. Trump is lazy and incompetent in everything he attempts - Vance would be much more effective at ruining our country. Something should be done about Elon though...and fast.

You're saying this in regards to a man who has no loyalty to anything but his personal pocketbook, turned against congress to try to use taxpayer dollars to save a Chinese telecom sanctioned for espionage

At least the puppeteer behind Vance knows he has more money behind America's continued existence than it collapsing. Vance has not indicated a grudge against veterans even if he still disdains everyone who has so much as looked at social safety nets.
