Rep. Ansari Demands Immediate Action
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., said Monday that President Donald Trump is “mentally ill” and must be removed from office under the 25th Amendment. She posted on X that Trump’s condition “is putting all of our lives at risk” and called for immediate action.
Fox News Digital contacted the White House for comment on Tuesday morning.
Trump’s Message to Norway Sparks Backlash
Ansari’s statement followed reports of a message Trump sent to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. In the text, Trump wrote that he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of Peace,” though he claimed peace would remain a priority. He added that the United States must prioritize its interests, including Greenland.
Trump questioned Denmark’s ability to defend Greenland from Russia or China. He also challenged Denmark’s “right of ownership,” noting historical voyages by both nations. He demanded NATO act for the United States and insisted that the world remains insecure without U.S. control of Greenland.
Norway Pushes Back
Støre responded firmly. He emphasized that Greenland belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway fully supports Danish sovereignty. He also stressed that NATO is taking responsible steps to strengthen Arctic security. Regarding the Nobel Peace Prize, Støre clarified that the independent Nobel Committee awards it—not the Norwegian government.
The Norwegian Prime Minister’s office confirmed that Støre and Trump exchanged the texts on Sunday.
Calls for 25th Amendment Gain Support
Other Democrats joined Ansari in urging the 25th Amendment. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., called Trump unfit to lead and demanded his removal. Kamlager-Dove wrote on X that the president is “clearly out of control” and must face immediate consequences.
Meanwhile, Trump doubled down on his Greenland ambitions in late-night posts on Truth Social, fueling further controversy.
