“I think the 25th Amendment was written with Donald Trumps in mind, because allowing someone like this to continue to be the commander-in-chief and to control the tremendous capabilities of the US military, including our nuclear weapons capability, which he seemed to allude to when he said he’s going to just eliminate a entire civilization,” Brennan told MS NOW’s Ali Velshi on his show, The Hill reported.

Over 70 Democrats in Congress have pushed for Trump’s removal due to his intense threats against Iran. The president’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, which was shortly after he issued a warning that a “whole civilization” was set for destruction, caused backlash from many Democrats, who accused the president of threatening genocide.

Between last weekend and Tuesday, the president took to his social media platform to issue various threats against Iran. 

On Sunday, Trump announced that the US military would start blockading ships looking to enter the Strait of Hormuz in the wake of weekend peace talks not resulting in a deal.

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said on Truth Social.
