United States President Donald Trump’s biggest supporters are turning their backs on him after this morning tirade on social media. Alex Jones and others that have made their hay supporting the current president, are calling for him to be removed from office.

Yesterday, during a news conference at the White House Trump issued a credible threat on the entire country of Iran. He said, “ We’re giving them till tomorrow, 8:00 Eastern time, and after that, they’re going to have no bridges. They’re going to have no power plants.”

Things would escalate further from there. This morning, Trump posted a renewed threat to seemingly use nuclear weapons on the entire country as well. On social media, he said uncorked posts that made both sides of the aisle sit up and take notice of how grave the situation could be.

With the timeline we currently inhabit, nothing is really off the. So, you have to take the president at his word when he issues these kinds of threats. Think about how everything went down with Venezuela. Also in recent memory, the situation with Greenland. Things are far too fragile to just accept that, “Trump is trolling on social media.” People’s lives are at stake!

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump typed. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?”

“We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” Trump added. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

As you would imagine, social media quickly devolved into people having to respond to this madness. It is not hyperbole to imagine the international world order of at least the last 40 to 50 years being upended through military action in this fashion. The Trump administration has given little he to things like Congress’s power to initiate wars in his second stint in office. It’s gonna take some sort of cross-party action to avoid a true catastrophe.

Alex Jones calls for removing the president

On a recent edition of the InfoWars show, the conservative media host and conspiracy theorist pondered removing the president from his post. This is a marked departure for Jones as largely supported every move that Donald Trump has made. He implicitly campaigned for the president to retake the White House. And now, he and others like him are scrambling with reality setting in.

Jones asked frankly, “How do we 25th amendment his a**?” When his guest said that the 25th would be harder to do than impeaching Trump, Jones replied, “So what do we do?” Judging by the rank and file on social media, he’s got a lot of people asking the same thing.

Marjorie Taylor Greene also called for a removal on social media. She said, “”25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”
