    What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?

    Almost nil. They don’t have the votes unless the Dems are even more supine than they already are. If the VP and come cabinet members declare him unfit, Trump can oppose that by writing a letter saying that no, he’s OK. Then it takes 2/3 majority in both houses to remove him. He’d have to be comatose or non-verbally gaga in order for the 25th to be triggered, at least according to the intent of the amendment.
