California Democrat Maxine Waters didn’t hold back as she criticized Donald Trump and issued a warning for America’s future.

The Democratic Representative for California spoke on MSNBC on Friday and had multiple criticisms of Trump and how he has been running the US.

She even called for aggressive steps to ensure that he is removed as President.

The representative said: “He wants to control the Fed. He wants to be able to determine interest rates. He wants to be able to have the people on the governing board that will do exactly as they are told. This is extraordinarily dangerous. This is the makings of a dictator who is trying to control the entire economy.”

She continued to argue that Trump and his administration could ‘upend the entire economy’ and called for immediate action.

She went on to call for the implementation of Article 25 of the Constitution to have him removed.

She said: “It is not about, you know, lingering and trying to think that maybe the courts will help us.

“I want, even though I know it may not happen, the cabinet that he’s appointed, a bunch of his sycophants who probably won’t do what I would recommend.

"It is time to call for Article 25 of the Constitution of the United States of America to determine his unfitness, to determine that something’s wrong with this president.

“I would suggest that we move very aggressively to talk about the danger to this country and to our democracy and not play around with this, because this is absolutely one of the most destructive things that this president could do.”

Waters has previously been very critical of Trump and warned that he was bringing the US into a war with Iran after they launched an attack on the nation in June.

At the time, she said: "Trump is out of control and does not contribute to an establishment of peace.

"This president must be stopped. I and Members of Congress must confront this issue as soon as we return to Congress. We need peaceful negotiations, not another war.”

Trump bragged about the attacks on Iran and said the US’ strikes on nuclear facilities had been ‘very successful’

In his address to the nation, the Republican explained how the US bombed those three nuclear sites, describing them as part of Iran's 'horribly destructive enterprise'.

He said: "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success."
