Remember that the 25th is an act of the VP and Cabinet, nobody else. It may not be coincidental that this development happens when the war is turning to complete shit, Trump has been firing generals left and right, and he is threatening to wipe out his cabinet. Those on Team Vance/Theirl may have decided this is the moment.

(12,044 posts)Thats not what Section 4 of the Amendment says, at least not if the President says theres no inability preventing him from discharging the powers and duties of the Presidency.

(2,909 posts)then they would also have enough support to get 40% of the Republicans in Congress to join with all of the Democrats except Fetterman.

Without a fully docile congressionalmajority, he's nothing. And they have no reason to pay fealty to him.
Nobody, not even the cult, cast their POTUS vote for Vance.
You say he would be worse. A worse person, perhaps. (Not sure that's possible.) But, being a worse person with no real power isn't much of a threat.

Trump cannot stand for any length of time. He has swelling in his hands, legs, elsewhere. He appears to be fighting for breadth. The man no longer has the stamina he criticized Joe Biden for.

(845 posts)valleyrogue
(2,751 posts)The speech the other night was completely unlike any speech he ever gave, and I am not talking about the insane content. He was struggling to breathe, was short of breath throughout, like he needed to get oxygen.
It is CHF. It is common among older people.
ProudMNDemocrat
(20,943 posts)The swelling accompanies heart failure. The kidneys are important in ridding the body of toxins through urination.
Found via an echocardiogram, the ejection fraction indicates how blood is being sent through the body from the lungs for oxygenation to the brain and vital organs. In my late husband's case, his heart function was less than 25%. Organs begin to die due to the lack of oxygen. The function of the heart is key to it all. Memory loss becomes more amplified when blood cannot get to the brain.
CHF is not curable. Trump is going to continue to falter with time. The changes will be obvious as the stress of the job takes its toll.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,
that he may blot out their name from the earth.

(34,485 posts)Lid just means he isn't speaking to the press. As in "go away, nothing to say"
A lock down occurs when there is a potential security breach:
Here are some recent examples:
As of March 11, 2026, the White House area was placed under a temporary lockdown following a vehicle crash into a security barrier, resulting in the driver's arrest and surrounding road closures. A separate, brief incident on July 15, 2025, involved a lockdown when an object was thrown over the North Lawn fence.
March 11, 2026: Secret Service arrested a driver who crashed into a security barrier. The area was secured, and operations returned to normal after the incident.
July 15, 2025: The White House was locked down for roughly 30 minutes after a person threw a cell phone over the North Lawn fence, prompting immediate action from Secret Service.
Key Details of Lockdown Procedures:
Protocol: During a lockdown, the Secret Service typically locks down the White House complex, moves reporters into the James S. Brady Briefing Room, and seals off Pennsylvania Avenue.
Response: In the July 2025 incident, the Secret Service initiated an investigation, determining the thrown item was harmless, and lifted the lockdown within an hour.
The White House is typically secured rapidly to ensure the safety of officials and the premises during any security breach.

Trump spotted skipping Easter service in lieu of âbizarre tourâ of DC: report #RawStory
— #TuckFrump (@realtuckfrumper.bsky.social) 2026-04-05T18:19:54.000Z
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2676667394/
St. Johns Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., often called the Church of the Presidents, has been attended at least once by every president since its construction in 1816. The church held three Easter services Sunday morning none of which, the Beast reported, were attended by Trump.
The 79-year-old president spent Easter Sunday taking a ceremoniously slow presidential motorcade tour around Memorial Circle close to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, where he hopes to build an arch honoring himself, according to pool reports, the Beasts report reads. During his travels, he also stopped at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
Trump did find time Easter Sunday, however, to issue a major threat against Iran in a profanity-laced social media post, while also lavishing praise on Allah, the Arabic word for God.
