“Tuesday will be Iran’s Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all in Iran. There’s nothing like it!!! Open the damn straits, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell – look! Praise be to Allah,” Trump wrote.

After the post, some critics, including insiders and lawmakers, reportedly began calling for consideration of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

What is Section 4 of the 25th Amendment?

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the President “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” If evoked, the Vice President immediately becomes Acting President, but this can be challenged by the President. Congress then needs to decide the matter by a two-thirds vote.

According to Congress.com, “Section 4’s complexity and concerns that it could be abused have led some observers to question whether it could be implemented for political purposes. During debate over the amendment, its authors and supporters largely rejected that assertion. They insisted that the purpose of the section was not to help remove an unpopular or failed president, and they supported this by citing the amendment’s checks and balances designed to prevent abuses of process. To date, Section 4 has not been implemented.”

Trump’s health update

Trump sends message to Iran hours later Rumors about his health surface At 11:08 a.m. on Saturday, April 4, the White House announced a press “standstill,” meaning there would be no public appearances that day. Social media users began linking this to unconfirmed claims that he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The speculation only grew after prediction markets and commentators amplified the hospitalization theory without any confirmation.

Speculation has been rife about Trump’s health and his past visits to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which many believe were more than routine checkups. Rumor has it that Trump was hospitalized in Maryland on Saturday, April 4th.

However, multiple posts on X suggest that these claims are not true, including a post from the White House Communications Director Zhang Zhiwei. He issued a rare statement claiming the president was “working non-stop” at the White House and Oval Office throughout Easter weekend.
