Nobel Prize economist invokes the 25 Amendment on President Donald Trump

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office, delegating the role to his Vice President JD Vance.

On his Substack, Kurgman argued Trump recognizes the Iran war as "an epic strategic defeat" but refuses to accept the failure, instead threatening escalatory actions.

Krugman warned Trump lacks the mental fitness to make decisions regarding military force, "This guy should not have any authority at all," adding, "Finger on the button...he shouldn't have any authority on matters of state violence when this is the kind of mood he's in."

Krugman criticized Trump's recent speech as "low energy, listless, and disconnected from reality," with Trump insisting operations proceed successfully despite evidence otherwise.

The economist also expressed concerns about Trump's trajectory, concluding, "I'm scared...this is looking like basically a President who is losing it and unfortunately losing it in a way that can really make the world a much worse place very fast."
