I simply cannot agree with this. I am certain that if you’d asked the legislators who had framed the 25th amendment, would they anticipate it providing for situations where the President was demonstrably (or had become) clinically insane, then their overwhelming answer would have been an unequivocal ‘yes’.

On the basis that he is clinically insane (which I profoundly believe he is) then this is entirely a precedent that your nation should set.

I am sure you are right but I think they also assumed the political supporters/opposers of a President would have agreed that a President was in fact debilitated. Such a diagnosis wouldn’t have relied on opinion. That wouldn’t be the case now. Agree with @Trevor Morley's Tache that the point is effectively moot.

It is effectively moot, but any such assessment will inevitably rely upon opinion; after all, people pay good money for the opinions of others!

Indeed, I’ve made my entire living on that basis!

But if a President had a serious health crisis (as my father did when he required 24 hour care after a stroke) there would be little question about the 25th. So do you think the framers would have exercised the 25th on Trump objectively? It’s possible I guess.
