Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has issued a stark warning to President Donald Trump, suggesting he should be removed from office using the 25th Amendment. A critic of his recent remarks about Iran, Greene took to X to express her outrage. She emphasized, “Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”
The fiery response came after Trump posted a provocative statement on Truth Social. He ominously indicated that Iran’s “civilization will die tonight,” a proclamation that struck a nerve with Greene and others. Trump further declared, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” His words reshaped the political landscape, highlighting a tumultuous relationship with Greene, who was once a supporter.
Greene’s discontent reflects a significant shift since her earlier alliance with Trump. After a bitter fallout last year, she has become increasingly vocal about her criticism. Her post aired a series of grievances, stating, “Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God… This is not making America great again, this is evil.” Such a strong condemnation resonates with her followers who once rallied behind the America First mantra.
On the other side of the aisle, some Democratic lawmakers have also jumped on this bandwagon, calling for Trump’s removal. Rep. Ilhan Omar of “The Squad” expressed her disgust by labeling Trump’s rhetoric as “sickeningly evil.” She demanded, “When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?” This sentiment echoes among several Democratic peers, including Reps. Mark Pocan and Shri Thanedar, both of whom advocated for invoking the 25th Amendment due to their view that Trump poses an imminent danger.
Pocan labeled Trump “too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes!” Thanedar remarked, “Trump just threatened to slaughter 100 million people.” These comments illustrate a growing concern about Trump’s temperament among not only Democrats but also formerly supportive figures like Greene.
In a dramatic tone, Trump has claimed, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Such statements escalate the stakes and contribute to rising tensions, adding fuel to the fire of those advocating for his ouster. Greene has urged those around Trump to take action against what she perceives as dangerous behavior, thus amplifying the urgency of her call for accountability.
As the political drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the rift between Greene and Trump signifies broader divides within the Republican party. With calls for using the 25th Amendment gaining traction from various lawmakers, this internal conflict could have significant implications for the party’s future.
