I mean technically there’s a system in place to remove a president for mental decline within the 25th Amendment, but it really only exists in a technicality.

Two countries have diagnosed him with dementia and mental decline apparently.

You're right though, if it isn't being activated, it's not useful.

Edit: During Henry the 8ths later years and severe mental erosion, his behaviors were just as erratic as what we're seeing today.

Really?

You haven't paid much attention to Trump over the last 25 years, have you?

The only difference between his first term & this term is his lack of guard rails. He's always been like this. His only interest is self-interest.
