My prediction as flawed as it may be

As Iran situation gets worse, Vance invokes 25th amendment and then pulls out of Iran since he was against it all along. This will allow Republicans to save face. Fresh start going into midterms. It is the only way they don’t get slaughtered by the dems.

If his cabinet doesn’t have the cajones to refuse to wear the ill fitting Florsheim shoes Trump demands they wear, they sure as hell aren’t going to invoke the 25th amendment.

They might go the route of the 25th Amendment but it would have to be after the midterms, why, because then Vance could finish Donald’s term and still seek two terms if he were to get elected.

But giving that Donald would take actions that could destroy the world’s economy (attacking Iran) just to prevent the Epstein information from coming out - who knows what Donald would do to save his ass. Probably Nuke California and blame it on Biden.

(he won’t) that 2/3rds of both Houses of Congress would vote to remove him?

He might wish he could do that. He can’t. There’s a very REAL reason why TSF has surrounded himself with flunkies who couldn’t manage a used car emporium let alone an institution of the United States government. Their survival depends on him, which means their fates are not merely woven but fused.

this is what comes to my mind whenever anyone talks about the 25 Amendment:

"Has to also
Include a majority of the Cabinet.

VP + Majority of cabinet will never do that."

Trump wiil declare victory and leave.

If he puts boots on the ground there will be casualties. Then the door for leaving is gone. His ego will just escalate.

I hope I am right.
