Could the Trump people be allowing Trump to spew all the weird shit he's saying - taking over Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal are three items that come to mind quickly - to establish grounds that he's crazy and, therefore, needs to be removed via the 25th Amendment? Let's be real: threatening to annex sovereign nations ain't exactly normal or rational. Over here on the left side of the political spectrum it's pretty well established he's insane and I suspect the hard right believes the same thing.

(17,611 posts)While the vp and cabinet can invoke the 25th and he would lose poer for 2 weeks, he could petition congress that he is healthy and will resume the presidency.
Once he does that, he has full powers again until both houses, with a 2/3 vote, say otherwise.
At that point, he can merely repeat the process.
Impeachment only takes a majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate. No cabinet vote. No 2/3 in the house. And it's final. There is no appeal or petition possible.
