It’s time to Talk About the 25th Amendment.

The conversation we would be having if we lived in sane times with leaders who had morals.

As the old saying goes, the Emperor has no clothes.

With each passing day, it becomes more and more clear that the President of the United States is not only immoral and corrupt, his mental state has deteriorated at a rapid pace. Since the beginning of the impeachment inquiry in particular, all it takes is a glance at the twitter feed of our commander in chief to realize that the man is not well. Whether he’s tweeting “PRESIDENTIAL HARRASSMENT” or discussing his “great and unmatched wisdom”, there are obvious, brazen signs of both his gross narcissism and inability to function cognitively.

Of course, I am no mental health professional, but in my humble opinion the signs of Trump’s deterioration are so clear and disturbing, I would argue it is essential to at least discuss the implications of the leader of the most powerful country on Earth being mentally unsound.

As the impeachment inquiry continues, I become more and more convinced with each of the President’s comments that we have a leader who would likely refuse to leave office, even if he were convicted in the Senate.
