Former President Donald Trump called on Republicans Tuesday morning to use the 25th Amendment, which involves presidential succession in the case the president cannot carry out the powers and duties of the office, claiming a new prisoner swap deal with Iran shows that President Joe Biden is "incompetent."
On Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Biden administration revealed to Congress it had moved forward with a controversial deal with Iran for the release of five detained Americans in exchange for the unfreezing of $6 billion.
The move was quickly criticized by many on the Right. Trump chimed in on Tuesday morning, writing on Truth Social: "So, lets get this straight! We did a hostage TRADE with Iran. We gave them 5 very tough, smart people that they desperately wanted. We likewise got back 5 people BUT, we also gave them 6 BILLION DOLLARS!"
