25th Amendment: Former Trump Attorney Calls Out Cabinet for Not Invoking
Ex-Trump Lawyer Ty Cobb Calls President Insane, Urges 25th Amendment Amid Iran Conflict
During an interview on Jim Acosta’s podcast, former Trump aide Ty Cobb criticized the president’s 2 a.m. Truth Social messages about the escalating U.S.-Iran war, arguing the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment due to his unconsulted military moves and reckless rhetoric like telling allies to ‘go get your own oil.’ The conflict intensified after Iranian crackdowns on protesters, leading Trump to deploy 2,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne in late March, with up to 10,000 more troops under consideration. A White House spokesman dismissed Cobb’s claims as ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ while reactions online ranged from amplification by critics to skepticism from supporters noting his brief tenure.
Trump: “We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We’re fighting wars. It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.”
Republican House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington says Congress can pay for Trump’s Iran war by making further cuts to key programs like Medicaid and SNAP
Rep. Ronny Jackson: “We started this, we’re gonna finish it. We’ll finish the war. Yes, is it gonna have an impact on the midterm elections? Potentially, if inflation does move up — probably. But it’s something that had to be done.”
So Trump is about to ask the military to do something absolutely insane, and the only advisors he listens to are 1) an employee of the Saudis, and 2) a functionary for the country helping to kill American soldiers. And right wingers simply don’t care that Trump is rewarding Russia for killing Americans.
BREAKING: Israel says they’re not putting troops on the ground… So, Trump’s solution? Put our troops on the ground. He says we don’t “need” to… But, he’s willing to risk your kids’ lives to “help out.”

To all the new people who realized Trump is insane after last night’s address:
The hell took you so long? Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so….

TRUMP “The strongest economy in history”
He is LOSING jobs
His first year was abysmal
Groceries are up
Utilities are up
Gas is WAY UP
He really thinks you’re dumb, America.
I dare you to find a 19-minute speech that was more insane than last night’s. Spoiler alert: it’s impossible.
For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.
“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. “One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear”

TARRIF WARS ARE BACK AGAIN.
The US is about to tax every finished product containing steel or aluminum on its full price, not just the metal inside it.
The US imported over $49 billion worth of steel and aluminum in 2024. A 25% tariff applied to the full value of those imports would generate over $12 billion in potential tariff revenue annually for the US government.
The US runs a combined trade deficit of over $31 billion in steel and aluminum annually. These tariffs are directly aimed at closing that gap.
The headline rate drops from 50% to 25%, but because it now applies to the entire product value instead of just the metal content, the actual tariff burden for many goods goes up. The presidential proclamation could come as soon as this week.
Canada, the EU, Mexico and South Korea are the most exposed.
