Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said President Trump is “not well” following a Wall Street Journal report that said his advisers limited his knowledge of rescue operations for two pilots downed in Iran due to the leader’s “impatience.”
“The commander-in-chief was excluded from commanding a military operation because he was acting so crazy. Think about that,” Goldman wrote in a post on X.
“Trump is not well. We need the 25th amendment before something really bad happens on US soil,” he added.

Catholic bishop linked to Melania’s parish criticizes Trump remarks about Pope Leo XIV and urges respect for the Church
A recent statement attributed to the Diocese of Palm Beach has sparked a wave of political and religious discussion online after it was reported that a senior Catholic figure publicly pushed back against Donald Trump’s remarks about the Pope.
According to reports circulating through Catholic commentary channels, Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez emphasized solidarity with Pope Leo XIV and strongly objected to what he described as disrespectful rhetoric directed at the pontiff. The statement also framed such rhetoric as harmful to the dignity of Catholic leadership and potentially offensive to the wider Catholic community in the United States, while urging prayers for the Pope’s safety.
The proximity of Mar-a-Lago to the Diocese has added a personal dimension to the discussion, since it places Trump’s South Florida residence within the bishop’s ecclesiastical jurisdiction. That detail has fueled additional commentary online about whether public political rhetoric from high-profile figures intersects too directly with religious authority and community boundaries.
On the political side, supporters of Trump have pushed back strongly against the bishop’s remarks, interpreting them as evidence of growing tension between segments of the Catholic leadership and elements of the MAGA movement. Some prominent conservative voices online have framed the dispute as part of a broader cultural and ideological struggle, rather than a purely religious disagreement.
Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV has reportedly continued to emphasize a message centered on the Church’s mission and its independence from political pressure, reinforcing themes of moral teaching and religious freedom rather than engaging directly in partisan debate.
Taken together, the situation reflects a wider reality in American public life: religious institutions, political figures, and media personalities are increasingly intersecting in ways that generate controversy well beyond traditional boundaries. For many Catholics, especially those observing from the middle, the focus remains on faith and unity rather than political alignment while others see these moments as deeply symbolic of broader cultural divisions playing out in real time.

MAGA has multiple characteristics, including poor taste in cheap headgear.
Not prominent among MAGA characteristics, cordiality.
Worth noting:
the pope's position is based upon notions of omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent spirits in the sky.
In that company, Trump is the radical.
