Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has once again issued a stark warning about former President Donald Trump, demanding his removal from power through the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The governor’s renewed call stemmed from a recent statement by Trump that Pritzker characterized as a threat to obliterate an entire civilization – language he deemed deeply disturbing and indicative of a dangerous instability.
“There is something genuinely wrong with this man,” Pritzker stated, echoing sentiments he’s voiced previously, and arguing that immediate action is crucial to safeguard national security. He believes the situation has escalated beyond political discourse and entered the realm of genuine peril.
This isn’t a new plea from the governor. He previously urged the invocation of the 25th Amendment earlier this week, responding to a controversial post on a social media platform where Trump predicted a catastrophic outcome for an entire nation.
Pritzker described Trump’s words not as a matter of policy, but as the rantings of someone detached from reality, a “deranged mad man” threatening widespread destruction. He insisted the time for debate had passed and decisive action was required.
The governor highlighted that his concerns are longstanding, referencing previous statements made months and even a year ago where he similarly called for Trump’s removal, citing a fundamental concern about his mental state and fitness for office.
Despite Trump announcing a temporary ceasefire, Pritzker remains unwavering in his position. He, along with other Democrats, continues to advocate for the drastic measure of invoking the 25th Amendment, believing it’s the only way to prevent potential catastrophe.
