Donald Trump est « manifestement dérangé » : l’ancien patron de la CIA appelle à la destitution du président américain
In open conflict with the American president, former CIA director John Brennan insisted on the danger posed by Donald Trump's presence in the White House.
Will he remain in the White House until the end of his second term in 2029? In recent days, calls for Donald Trump's impeachment have multiplied in the United States. Most recently, former CIA director John Brennan called for the American president's departure and the invocation of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
"This person is clearly disturbed," he told the American media outlet MS Now on Saturday. "I think the 25th Amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind."
This text, enshrined in the American Constitution in 1967, authorizes the vice president and a majority of cabinet members to remove the president if he is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
"Too great a risk"
According to the former CIA director, the Trump administration "outright lied" about the reasons for going to war. "Iran did not possess nuclear weapons," explained John Brennan. "The intelligence community always considered that Iran did not represent an imminent threat."
As head of the spy agency under Barack Obama's presidency, he now considers that Donald Trump represents "too great a risk to be allowed to continue as commander-in-chief", especially given the firepower of the American arsenal.
The former CIA director pointed to the threat made by the White House occupant on April 7th to "destroy Iranian civilization." These words, according to John Brennan, foreshadowed the deployment of nuclear weapons.
Since leaving his post in 2017, just before Trump's first term, the former supporter of Barack Obama has been in open conflict with the American president. The latter has called for a criminal investigation against John Brennan and former FBI director James Comey.
The former CIA director can count on the support of a growing number of Democrats calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. According to the latest count by NBC News, more than 70 Democrats in Congress have requested the application of this amendment.
