“Mad King George III”: Alex Jones Calls for Trump’s Removal
President Donald Trump has lost one of his loudest megaphones.
Alex Jones, the influential MAGA broadcaster who helped win millions of Americans over to Trump, now wants Congress or the Cabinet to remove him. Jones does not whisper from the Republican sidelines. He commands a vast and intensely loyal audience, including more than 4.4 million followers on X. He also supported Trump long before much of the Republican establishment accepted him.
Now, the former Trump ally sees a president beyond restraint.
“How to Stop Trump”
Jones called for Trump’s immediate removal on a live stream on X on Wednesday. He also urged Vice President JD Vance and the Cabinet to consider the 25th Amendment.
Commenting on reports that the Selective Service System (SSS), the federal agency responsible for maintaining the nation’s draft registration program, is developing a computer simulation to test national mobilization scenarios, Jones accused Trump of preparing to reinstate the draft and launch a major ground invasion. The SSS is currently working on implementation of the automatic draft registration, which Congress approved in the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Noting Trump’s threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran, Jones compared him to “Mad King George III,” whose reign became synonymous in American memory with royal overreach and, later, severe mental illness. A former ally also called Trump “the main current threat we are facing.” He said the president had “joined the dark side” and had been “brainwashed” by neoconservatives and Israel into advancing the “Greater Israel” project, a vision of Israeli expansion across all of historic Palestine and into neighboring Arab states.
Jones declared:
And so I’m calling for it right now: 25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center, to get control of our country.
Jones also argued that the president’s support for a de facto merger of the U.S. and Israeli militaries was, by itself, “impeachable.”
The commentator argued that Congress never authorized the war in the manner the Constitution requires. He said lawmakers had tried repeatedly to force votes on war powers, but Trump continued escalating anyway.
“Facing a Tyranny”
Jones then moved beyond impeachment. He called for sweeping, “Nuremberg-style” investigations and trials of administration officials. He warned that a larger war would give the government an excuse to censor dissent, “nationalize everything,” centralize power, and impose new controls at home with help of AI. Indeed, the administration has launched an unprecedented effort to integrate AI into government operations and consolidate data on American citizens.
“We are facing tyranny,” he warned.
He urged Americans to cross partisan lines and resist further escalation, noting that the war could wreck the economy and kill large numbers of American troops.
“They’re preparing a massive ground invasion. It’s all confirmed. This is going down right now,” Jones said.
The Pentagon has reportedly prepared plans for possible ground operations in Iran. Those plans have included limited raids involving special operations forces and infantry units. However, for now, public reporting has not established that Trump has approved a full-ground invasion.
Trump cannot simply reactivate conscription by decree. The SSS says Congress would first have to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the president to induct Americans into the armed forces.
Therefore, while Jones mixed a legitimate constitutional warning with claims that remain unconfirmed, the core of his message is difficult to dismiss. He believes Trump has become a threat not only to the movement that elected him, but also to the country and the wider world, given both the war’s immediate fallout and its potentially catastrophic consequences.
The April Rebellion
This was not Jones’ first call to remove Trump.
In early April, the commentator discussed the president’s conduct with attorney Robert Barnes. After Trump threatened Iranian power plants and bridges in a profanity-filled Easter message, Barnes said the president had lost his mind and warned that the conflict could become a world war.
Jones responded with a blunt question.
“How do we 25th Amendment his a**?” he asked.
Trump intensified the controversy hours later. He posted that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
That language pushed other former allies over the edge.
Georgia’s former Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, among many other observers, called for invoking the 25th Amendment. Greene once served as one of Trump’s most aggressive defenders, and supported efforts to erase his previous impeachments.
But “not a single bomb has dropped on America,” she wrote. “We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”
Greene later expanded her criticism in a television interview, saying Trump’s words revealed “serious instability in his thinking.” She called him “out of control,” and accused him of transforming himself from the promised peace president into a war president.
Democratic lawmakers have also demanded impeachment or removal, but their objections are not surprising. The break by Jones and Greene carries much political weight.
The Fitness Question
The revolt also revived an issue Trump spent years using against Joe Biden.
Trump turned 80 in June. Critics increasingly point to rambling speeches, verbal confusion, angry digressions, and apparent drowsiness at public events. The Associated Press recently described his hourlong White House Correspondents’ Dinner address as rambling and packed with personal insults.
Videos from official events have also appeared to show Trump struggling to remain awake. A November Washington Post analysis found that he spent nearly 20 minutes apparently fighting to keep his eyes open during an Oval Office event. Footage circulated in June again appeared to show him dozing while officials spoke.
Surely, such appearances do not establish dementia or any other medical condition. But they still raise legitimate questions about stamina, judgment, and medical transparency.
In April, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked White House physician Sean Barbabella to conduct and release a “comprehensive cognitive assessment.” After Trump’s May examination, Barbabella reported that the president remained in “excellent health” and was “fully fit” to serve. Raskin, however, cited inconsistencies in the administration’s disclosures and its failure to release the complete results.
The concern predates Trump’s second term. A 2024 STAT analysis found that specialists in memory, psychology, and linguistics had observed tangentiality in his speech. They noted frequent topic shifts, repetition, verbal confusion, and difficulty completing coherent thoughts.
In April, 36 neurologists, psychiatrists, and other medical professionals cited what they called “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.” They pointed to disorganized speech, rambling digressions, factual confusion, and apparent sleepiness. However, they acknowledged that they had not examined Trump and could not offer a formal diagnosis.
Meanwhile, journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that some White House aides privately worry about Trump’s age, stamina, and physical condition.
When the Brand Stops Working
Jones’ break may signal the end of what appears to be one of the most effective political deceptions in recent American history. Trump, a former Democrat who once socialized with Jeffrey Epstein, persuaded millions of liberty-minded Americans that he would end forever wars and dismantle corrupt, entrenched power. Instead, in addition to unauthorized military strikes during both terms, he has launched a truly disastrous war on Iran, explicitly in the interest of a foreign country, while accelerating the surveillance and data systems many of his supporters once feared. Jones played an important role in selling Trump to that audience. His revolt therefore carries more significance than any criticism from the political “Left.”
What follows may prove equally revealing. Should Trump leave office, Vice President JD Vance would still not represent a break with the national-security establishment. His rapid political ascent benefited heavily from billionaire Peter Thiel. The latter co-founded Palantir, which received early backing from the CIA and now operates deep inside the American military and intelligence apparatus. Thiel also sits on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group and hosts a secretive Dialog Society.
Jones helped convince patriots that Trump would defeat the system. His latest warning raises an uncomfortable question: Did the system instead find in Trump a more effective instrument, and has it already prepared his successor?
