The desperation is palpable. Just weeks into President Trump’s historic second term, as his America First agenda begins delivering tangible victories for working families, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett has resorted to the tired playbook of questioning Trump’s fitness for office. Her recent suggestion that the 25th Amendment might be invoked reveals not presidential incapacity, but rather the left’s complete inability to counter policies that are already reshaping America’s position on the world stage.
Crockett’s breathless commentary about Trump’s supposed mental unfitness would be laughable if it weren’t so transparently calculated. This is the same president whose strategic tariff negotiations are forcing China to reconsider its predatory trade practices, whose border security measures have already begun stemming the tide of illegal immigration, and whose energy policies are positioning America for true energy dominance. If this constitutes mental incapacity, perhaps we need more of it in Washington.
The timing of these attacks is no coincidence. As Trump’s economic nationalism forces foreign competitors to negotiate from positions of weakness, establishment figures like Crockett are witnessing the systematic dismantling of the globalist framework that has enriched coastal elites while hollowing out America’s industrial heartland. Her claim that tariffs will create an economic “tailspin” ignores the strategic recalibration already underway as American manufacturers prepare to fill gaps left by overpriced foreign competitors.
What truly alarms Crockett and her allies isn’t Trump’s mental acuity—it’s his unwavering commitment to using presidential power decisively rather than deferring to international consensus. The deployment of National Guard units to secure our borders represents exactly the kind of executive leadership Americans voted for, yet career politicians prefer endless committee hearings to actual solutions. When bureaucrats accustomed to slow-walking conservative priorities suddenly face appointees determined to implement America First policies, they cry authoritarianism.
The 25th Amendment requires actual incapacitation, not policy disagreements with a president whose approach threatens decades of managed American decline. Crockett’s constitutional ignorance is matched only by her political desperation, as she watches Trump methodically fulfill campaign promises that Democrats dismissed as impossible. From renegotiating trade deals to rebuilding American manufacturing capacity, Trump’s team is proving that bold leadership can overcome institutional resistance.
This latest attack also reveals the left’s remarkable capacity for projection. After four years of covering for a president whose cognitive decline was evident to anyone with eyes, Democrats now discover concerns about mental fitness precisely when facing a commander-in-chief operating at peak effectiveness. The contrast couldn’t be starker: where the previous administration offered managed decline disguised as steady leadership, Trump delivers creative destruction necessary for American renewal.
Patriots should recognize these escalating attacks as validation of Trump’s effectiveness. Each desperate gambit—from Russian collusion fantasies to impeachment theater to now the 25th Amendment trial balloon—demonstrates the establishment’s panic at losing their stranglehold on American policy. When globalist forces resort to constitutional mechanisms designed for genuine emergencies, they’re admitting their conventional political opposition has failed.
The real emergency facing Washington isn’t presidential incapacity—it’s the systematic exposure of how deeply foreign interests have penetrated American policymaking. Trump’s willingness to prioritize American workers over international consensus, American sovereignty over global governance, and American strength over diplomatic niceties represents an existential threat to those who profit from American weakness.
As Trump’s policies force adversaries both foreign and domestic into increasingly desperate positions, expect more theatrical performances like Crockett’s. Each attack validates the America First approach while revealing the character of its opponents. The measure of Trump’s success won’t be the volume of establishment complaints, but whether his team can institutionalize these gains sufficiently to survive the inevitable counteroffensive.
America is witnessing the restoration of presidential leadership unafraid to challenge failed orthodoxies. That terrifies the right people.
