Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative commentator, recently suggested that President Donald Trump should have been removed from office under the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This statement was made during an interview with NPR on Thursday. While Carlson has been a vocal supporter of Trump for years, he has recently expressed strong criticism of the president’s policies, particularly regarding the U.S. involvement in Iran. When asked if Trump should be impeached over his actions in the Iran conflict, Carlson responded that he wouldn’t face punishment for that. Instead, he suggested that Trump might be targeted for corruption. He argued that Trump should have been removed from office “by his own Cabinet secretaries the moment he threatened a nuclear attack.” When NPR’s Steve Inskeep asked if Carlson was referring to the 25th Amendment, Carlson confirmed this, stating that Trump should have been “bundled up and taken out,” calling such an action a crime. The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a president if they are deemed unable to perform their duties or if they act in direct violation of those duties. It gives the vice president and Cabinet secretaries the authority to take such action. Carlson criticized the idea that threatening a nuclear attack wouldn’t be considered a crime, calling it a reflection of a “deranged moral scale.” He argued that Trump should have been removed for considering a first-use nuclear strike, a move he described as a grave violation of presidential responsibilities.
