Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., issued a blistering call for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump on Monday. In a post on X, she asserted that the President is "extremely mentally ill" and poses a direct threat to national security.
"The 25th Amendment exists for a reason—we need to invoke it immediately," Ansari declared. Her remarks follow reports of an extraordinary text message exchange between Trump and Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
In the messages, Trump reportedly linked his renewed ambitions to seize Greenland to his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He claimed that because he was "snubbed" for the award, he no longer feels "an obligation to think purely of Peace."
Greenland Standoff Escalates
The President’s push for "Complete and Total Control" of Greenland has sparked a historic diplomatic crisis with Denmark and NATO. Trump argued that Denmark cannot protect the territory from Russia or China and questioned their "right of ownership."
"There are no written documents; it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago," Trump reportedly wrote. He insisted that the world is "not secure" unless the United States takes over the island "one way or the other."
Prime Minister Støre pushed back, clarifying that the Nobel Prize is awarded by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government. He also reiterated that Greenland remains an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Calls for the 25th Amendment
Ansari is not alone in her demand for action. Senator Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., have also called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, describing Trump as "unfit to lead" and "clearly out of control."
- Rep. Ansari: Described the President as "extremely mentally ill" and a risk to all lives.
- Rep. Kamlager-Dove: Asserted that Trump is "clearly out of control" and "unfit to lead."
- Sen. Markey: Called on the Cabinet and Vice President JD Vance to act immediately to safeguard the country.
The White House has yet to provide an official response to the mental health allegations. However, officials have doubled down on the President's "America First" posture, threatening punitive tariffs against European allies who oppose the acquisition of Greenland.
As the DOJ and FBI manage domestic unrest related to ICE operations, the administration's focus remains on Arctic dominance. Trump recently posted that "there can be no going back," framing the Greenland takeover as imperative for global security.
