In a way, I am now increasingly suspecting the situation is even worse than criminality. I suspect Trump is mentally ill.
Invoke the 25th:

'“We have as president a man who is erratic, vindictive, volatile, obsessive, a chronic liar, and prone to believe in conspiracy theories,” said conservative commentator Peter Wehner, who was the top policy strategist in George W. Bush’s White House. “And you can count on the fact that there will be more to come, since when people like Donald Trump gain power they become less, not more, restrained.”'
I agree with this assessment. There is something that is just not right with Donald Trump's mental health.
I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him. He must be going through some dark nights of the soul. What turmoil must be roiling his psyche. For his sake and the sake of the US, invoke the 25th.
My doubts about Trump's fitness for command are diminishing by the tweet. It's still possible that he's not crazy as some in the press have recently speculated...just "crazy like a fox," instead.
Here's the real danger as pointed out in this passage from the WaPo article you cite:
What happens in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, during a natural disaster or amidst an economic crisis? He’ll desperately need the American people to trust and rally behind him, but he will have drained the reservoir of goodwill. That is when Trump’s credibility gap is going to become a cataclysmic problem for his presidency and, frankly, for the country.
I've said it before in a previous post: I want our president to succeed--with some qualifications. There is simply too much at stake for the country, indeed for all of us, if Trump should fail. Especially if he should fail spectacularly in a moment of renewed crisis.
