On Thursday night, a presidential historian and biographer of President Donald Trump declared that the time has come for either the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Seth Abramson, who wrote a trilogy of bestselling books on corruption within the Trump administration, was responding to the president\u2019s address and election denial rhetoric in general. The president, asserts Abramson, is intentionally stoking \u201cviolence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most sober, terrifying thing I can say as a Trump presidential historian is that what happened tonight was not about you, me, or America,\u201d posted Abramson<\/u>. \u201cHe’s going to do what he’s going to do based on how he convinces himself to do it. Nothing else matters. He’s not listening to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has revealed this kind of thinking before. In January<\/u>, for example, when asked if there were limits to his global powers, he chimed, \u201cMy own morality. My own mind. It\u2019s the only thing that can stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Abramson, Trump\u2019s issues are deeper than political. As the biographer writes<\/u>, \u201cHowever it came to pass \u2014 childhood trauma, genetics, dementia \u2014 this U.S. president is now functionally a psychopath. He lives in his own reality. He converses only with himself. All America is now downstream from a madman who’s not listening to anyone or anything but his own madness.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time someone with expert knowledge of the president has suggested that he may have a severe cognitive or psychiatric disorder. Earlier in the year, Trump\u2019s threats against Iran prompted calls for his removal, even from MAGA figures like Alex Jones, who asserted that the president had dementia and compared his behavior to the \u201cmadness of King George III.<\/u>\u201d Others, including doctors, have noted \u201cmental glitches<\/u>\u201d and \u201cred flags<\/u>\u201d signaling a major condition. <\/p>\n

With all this in mind, Abramson argues the only solution is for Trump to be removed from office, but says that these outcomes are unlikely, writing<\/u>, \u201cThe 25th was made for this moment. It won’t be used because Trump nominated cowards. Impeachment was made for this moment. It won’t be used because America elected cowards. The federal courts were made to stop this. They won’t because lifetime appointments reward cowardice.\u201d<\/p>\n

He argues that Trump is actively stoking political violence, posting<\/u>, \u201cViolence would destroy America and leave no winners. You’ll never see me support it but in self-defense. I think Trump is doing all he can to convince a large swath of America that violent rebellion is the only answer.\u201d The president has escalated his calls for violence against his political opponents, painting them all (even the Pope<\/u>) as \u201cradical leftists\u201d and \u201ccommunists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d Abraham\u2019s conclusion as to Trump\u2019s ultimate goals is grim. \u201cHe wants to either kill half of us or burn everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
