Ultimately, the article suggests that Trump’s declining health and potential incapacity raise serious concerns about his ability to fulfill the duties of his office and calls for consideration of his removal.

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act is a chilling prospect that, frankly, feels like it’s been brewing for quite some time now.
