Folks, Jamie Raskin is back at it again, proving once and for all that Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t a bug in the Democrat system—it’s the entire operating system. On April 14, the Maryland congressman introduced legislation to create a brand-new 17-member commission under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. The stated purpose? To declare President Trump mentally and physically unfit to serve because of his “volatile, incoherent, and alarming” statements on the Iran conflict. Raskin even sent a letter last week to the White House physician demanding an immediate cognitive and neurological evaluation of Trump, complete with full public disclosure of the results. This comes days after Trump’s tough talk on crushing the mullahs and an AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure that sent the left into full meltdown mode.
This isn’t some new brainstorm from a concerned constitutional scholar. It’s the latest chapter in Raskin’s years-long crusade to use the 25th Amendment as a get-out-of-democracy-free card whenever a Republican sits in the Oval Office. The man spent four years propping up Joe Biden—a guy who couldn’t finish a sentence without a handler, wandered off stage, and mistook his own vice president for a random staffer—while now hyperventilating that Trump’s decisive leadership on Iran proves he’s the real danger to the Republic. If that isn’t peak Democrat hypocrisy, nothing is.
Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is once again introducing a bill to invoke the 25th amendment to remove President Trump.

Raskin’s Long War on the 25th Amendment: From 2017 Fantasy to 2026 Desperation
Raskin has been pushing this exact scheme for nearly a decade. He first introduced legislation in 2017 to set up a permanent congressional commission that could step in and assess presidential capacity if the Cabinet wouldn’t act. He reintroduced it in 2020. After the January 6 Capitol events in 2021, he ramped up the pressure, supporting efforts to invoke the 25th immediately and using his perch on the Judiciary Committee to lecture anyone who would listen about presidential incapacity. The bill he just dropped on April 14 is the same warmed-over proposal, dressed up with fresh panic over Trump’s Iran rhetoric and a handful of social media posts.
Each time, the goal has been identical: create a hand-picked panel of supposed experts who could declare the president unable to discharge his duties and hand power to the vice president. Never mind that the 25th Amendment was written for genuine medical emergencies, not policy disagreements or hurt feelings over strong language. Raskin knows the commission is a long shot in a Republican House, but that’s not the point. The point is to generate headlines, smear Trump as unstable, and keep the derangement machine humming for the midterms and beyond.
The Biden Double Standard: Raskin’s Selective Blindness to Real Cognitive Collapse
Here’s what makes Raskin’s latest stunt an absolute abomination. For four straight years, he and his party defended, excused, and outright covered up Joe Biden’s obvious mental and physical decline. Biden’s public appearances were a national embarrassment—slurring speeches, freezing mid-sentence, needing physical guidance to find the podium. Internal concerns were buried. Special counsel reports documented the problem in excruciating detail. Yet Raskin and every other leading Democrat insisted Biden was sharp as a tack, fully capable, and anyone questioning it was a conspiracy theorist or a threat to democracy.

Raskin even referenced Republican calls for Biden’s cognitive testing in his recent letter, acting as if those concerns were suddenly legitimate now that the target is Trump. During Biden’s term, the same man who now screams about national security threats from a president handling a hot war in the Middle East said nothing while Biden’s team hid the truth from the American people. The contrast is grotesque. Trump is out there making decisions, enforcing deadlines on enemies, and delivering results on energy, borders, and economic growth. Biden spent his days in a fog, propped up by staffers who treated the presidency like a nursing home shift. Raskin didn’t lose a minute of sleep over it then. He loses his mind over it now only because the wrong team is winning.
This Latest Push Is Pure Political Theater, Not Constitutional Duty
Raskin’s bill has 50 Democratic co-sponsors and zero chance of becoming law. It’s a messaging exercise designed to paint Trump as erratic while ignoring the real chaos Democrats created during Biden’s term. The timing is no accident—right as Trump’s pressure on Iran is forcing the mullahs to the table and the Strait of Hormuz is back under control. Democrats can’t stomach strong American leadership, so they reach for the same tired playbook: question the president’s sanity instead of debating the policy.
The 25th Amendment exists for genuine incapacity, not for punishing voters who rejected the left’s agenda twice now. Raskin’s repeated attempts to rewrite it into a congressional veto over election results expose exactly what the modern Democrat Party has become: a collection of sore losers who view the Constitution as a suggestion rather than the supreme law of the land. They cheered when Biden’s decline was papered over because it served their interests. Now they cry foul when Trump acts like the fighter the country elected him to be.
America First Means Rejecting These Cynical Power Grabs
President Trump was elected to restore strength, secure the border, unleash American energy, and stop endless foreign entanglements that bleed us dry. He’s doing exactly that. Jamie Raskin’s obsession with the 25th Amendment isn’t about fitness for office—it’s about reversing the 2024 verdict at any cost. The American people saw through Biden’s decline and rejected it. They see through Raskin’s transparent desperation now.
This stunt will go nowhere except into the dustbin of failed coup attempts. Trump remains focused on winning the peace in the Middle East, rebuilding the economy, and putting America first. Raskin can introduce all the bills he wants. The voters already delivered their verdict in 2024, and they’ll deliver it again in the midterms. The Republic doesn’t need congressional commissions to decide who’s fit. It needs leaders who respect the ballot box instead of trying to nullify it every time they lose. Raskin’s latest tantrum is just more proof that the real mental unfitness problem sits on the other side of the aisle.
