My opinion: Trump is fit, and so is his Prime Minister and other Ministers.
On a deeper level, that’s for the future historians to determine.

The provided article from The Daily Beast argues that the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove Donald Trump from office, citing a recent diplomatic communication as evidence of mental incapacity.
The core of the argument centers on a letter sent to Norway’s Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. In the letter, Trump expresses frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, suggesting that because he was “snubbed,” he no longer feels obligated to prioritize peace. He specifically targets Greenland, questioning Denmark’s right of ownership and asserting that “Complete and Total Control of Greenland” is necessary for world security.
The author, Janna Brancolini, presents several key points to support the call for the 25th Amendment:
Emotional Volatility: The article contends it is irrational to threaten international stability or propose major territorial acquisitions based on personal grievances over an award.
Geopolitical Risks: The piece argues that the President’s rhetoric undermines the NATO alliance and emboldens adversaries like Russia and China by questioning the collective defense agreements that protect territories like Greenland.
Health Concerns: Brancolini references previous reports of physical and cognitive decline, including instances of “word salad,” physical symptoms like bruised hands, and an erratic sleep schedule filled with social media “rage-posting.”
Impeachment vs. 25th Amendment: The article distinguishes between the two, suggesting that while his actions may be impeachable, the primary issue is a fundamental inability to “discharge the powers and duties of his office” due to a lack of mental stability.The article acknowledges the significant political hurdles to this process, noting that the Cabinet is largely composed of loyalists and that congressional Republicans have shown little interest in reining in the administration. However, it concludes that discussing the 25th Amendment is necessary to address what the author describes as a “collective delusion” regarding the President’s fitness for office.— https://x.com/mikenov/status/2013576282106105908

Georgia’s Public Defender has filed a lawsuit with the country’s Constitutional Court, challenging multiple protest-related restrictions and associated administrative and criminal penalties adopted by the disputed parliament in 2025 amid ongoing anti-government protests.
The complaint, which targets provisions in the Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations, the Administrative Offenses Code, and the Criminal Code of Georgia, follows a December announcement by Levan Ioseliani that his office planned to challenge anti-protest legislation adopted and used by authorities to crack down on dissent. Ioseliani cited, among others, proportionality concerns.
The complaint challenges “restrictions imposed on participants in assemblies and demonstrations” under Georgia’s Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations, the Public Defender’s Office said in a January 20 statement, “including a blanket ban on covering faces with masks or by any other means.”
The constitutional complaint also challenges penalties prescribed for these restrictions under the Administrative Offenses Code, including “both mandatory detention and the amount of fines,” the statement said.
The complaint further challenges the imposition of criminal liability for individuals who repeat administrative offenses. Under several amended provisions, repeat protest-related offenses, such as blocking roads or covering faces during rallies, can result in prison sentences of up to one year.
Over the past year, the ruling Georgian Dream party has introduced several legislative amendments that were widely believed to constitute a restriction on freedom of assembly and expression. Initial measures included steep fines for actions such as blocking roads or covering faces during protests. These penalties were later replaced with immediate detention.
In December, Georgian Dream MPs expanded the protest restrictions to include “obstructing the movement of people” in pedestrian areas and introduced stricter advance notice requirements for demonstrations.
The complaint is widely seen as unlikely to result in the repeal of the challenged provisions, as the Constitutional Court is broadly believed to be under the influence of the ruling party.
