Political tensions are exploding after Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a close ally of Donald Trump, publicly called for his removal from office as fears of conflict with Iran intensified.
The controversy erupted after Trump posted a dramatic warning on Truth Social, suggesting a catastrophic outcome if tensions escalated, writing that a "whole civilization" could be destroyed if diplomatic deadlines failed.
Greene reacted strongly on X (formerly Twitter), calling for the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution to be invoked.
The amendment allows a president to be removed from power if they are deemed unable to perform their duties.
In her post, Greene argued military escalation without direct attack on the United States would be unjustified and dangerous.
Her comments marked a major shift after her public falling out with Trump the previous year.
She was not alone.
Democratic lawmakers including Ilhan Omar, Mark Pocan, and Shri Thanedar also criticized Trump’s rhetoric and discussed impeachment or removal options.
Omar described the statements as dangerous and urged congressional action, while other critics questioned whether Trump’s comments suggested a willingness to escalate global conflict.
The White House had not issued a detailed response at the time the statements circulated publicly.
The situation comes as global attention remains focused on Middle East stability, oil routes, and military positioning.
Experts often note that strong rhetoric between world powers can increase pressure during negotiations, even if it does not always lead to direct conflict.
The political reaction highlights deep divisions not just between parties, but within Trump's own political orbit.
Analysts say moments when former allies break ranks often create the most political shockwaves because they signal fractures inside established support bases.
For now, no formal removal process has begun, and such actions would require significant political support to move forward.
Still, the calls show how quickly geopolitical tensions can turn into domestic political battles.
As the situation develops, both foreign policy decisions and political consequences could continue to unfold simultaneously.
