An anticipated contender for the White House in 2028 teased out likely talking points for Democrats to campaign on, and it was no surprise that they involve Russia and the 25th Amendment.
By repeatedly taking the position that President Donald Trump’s America First agenda is inherently bad, the left has found itself on the side of opposing safe spaces for girls and women, defending government waste, and deeming itself the arbiter of what laws ought to be followed.
Where the latter point is concerned, hyperbole against immigration enforcement operations found Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) revisiting the tired comparison of Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the same time he suggested the leader of the free world “has dementia” and the time had come to remove him from office.
Following an appearance at the City College of Chicago on Tuesday alongside Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D), the pair of sanctuary policy-pushing politicians fielded questions together. Given his turn at the microphone, Pritzker led off with allegations that Trump was no longer fit for office and that he was acting outside the purview of his position: “It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States, is just frankly inane, and I’m concerned for his health.”

Further remarks offered Tuesday continued the narrative that the federal government had overstepped as part of the efforts at restoring national sovereignty through mass deportations as Pritzker suggested, “The idea that you’re gonna go — suggest that you’re gonna arrest people, or that people don’t deserve to be U.S. citizens when they are, just because they oppose the president of the United States — there is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”

After years of defending President Joe Biden, only to abruptly oust him from the top of the ticket mere weeks before the 2024 Democratic National Convention when his debate performance against Trump had proven too much to gaslight, leftists shamelessly began to recycle allegations that the Republican president was unfit for office, even as further evidence of Biden’s use of cheat sheets came to light. On that point, the Trump White House reminded, “Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is actually running our country, and he doesn’t ever shy away from taking on the fake news to deliver the truth.”
Of course, that didn’t stop some of the usual suspects from going after the GOP leader, including Bruce Springsteen, who told Time in a late September interview, “He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.”
Likewise, California Rep. Maxine Waters (D) argued weeks earlier, “It is time to call for Article 25 [sic] of the Constitution of the United States of America to determine his unfitness, to determine that something’s wrong with this president,” only days before Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) argued it was time to “have a reasonable conversation about what the 25th means and whether or not [Trump] is physically capable of serving, as well as I’ve already decided that he is mentally incapable.”
