New York Times: Trump's Mental State Debated Again Amid Extreme, Uncontrolled Rhetoric
Following the start of the US-Iran War on February 28, former US President Trump's erratic statements, including threats to destroy Iranian civilization and criticism of Pope Leo XIV on April 12, have reignited public debate and concerns among former allies regarding his mental stability. Calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president due to disability have resurfaced from Democrats, retired generals, and some political conservatives. Polls from Reuters/Ipsos (February) and YouGov (September 2025) indicate a growing percentage of the American public perceives Trump as more erratic and too old for office, with 61% in one poll noting increased erraticism.
