Same line of thinking among officials and POTUS's entourage is being reported (I don't know if the source is reliable) :
> High-ranking national-security officials have spent the last 24 hours scrambling to figure out how to keep their commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, from inciting further violence at home, spilling national secrets, or sparking last-minute confrontations with international foes.
> The concerns in the upper echelons of the administration’s national-security community range from fears inside the Pentagon that the president will do or say something that effectively throws the U.S. into a military confrontation with another country to anxieties in the intelligence apparatus that Trump will divulge classified intelligence on his way out, according to four officials who spoke with The Daily Beast about the matter. All requested to remain anonymous in order to speak more openly about the discussions.
> “This isn’t a hypothetical anymore,” said one senior administration official. “This is real. What happened yesterday changed the calculus. People are concerned about [the president’s] state of mind.”

- Mtinie 6y agoIf they were really that concerned V.P. Pence would have support of the Cabinet and could invoke the 25 Amendment. It’s quite possible what you relayed is true. However, coming from The Daily Beast you need to take things reported with a grain of salt.
