Press TV - A former US Republican Senator has called on lawmakers to support calls President Donald Trump's removal from office, calling him sick of mind.
Gordon Humphrey, a longtime critic of Trump, said in a letter,Donald Trumpis seriously sick. He is dangerous.
In a letter sent to Republican Senator Ann McLane Kuster, Humphrey said that Trump is making a bad situation worsewith his recent promise that North Korea would face "fire and fury" if it continued to threaten the US, a local news station WMUR first reported.
President Trump's threat to rain down 'fire and fury' on North Korea is like pouring gasoline on a fire, Humphrey wrote. It's crazy.
Humphrey asked Kuster to support a bill in the Houseof Representatives that would establish a test to determine whether the president is mentally fit for office.
He said, As a citizen, former USSenator, and twelve-year member of the Armed Services Committee, I urge you to act [at] once.
"Donald Trump should be relieved of the powers of the presidency at the earliest date."
The letter comes amid widespread criticism of Trump over his response to threats made byNorth Korea. Humphrey saidthe escalating crisis with North Korea forces Congress to act.
