How likely is it for the 25th amendment to be used against Trump?
How likely is it to succeed?
I don't understand your question. There has to be something that takes out the president like a heart attack, assasination or impeachment first.

Are you asking how an assassination of the President of the United States will be likely used on Donald Trump?

What I mean is, how likely is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” will be interperated as mental ineptitude, possibly compromised by Russia, influenced by his personal wealth, or something other then death or a stroke.
The 25th is an extremely unlikely route that is meant for situations of an unthinkable unlikelihood. The VP and most of the Cabinet would need to assert the President's incapacity in a case like an assassination attempt of if there has been a legitimate and gross miscarriage of office (of which Trump has not done). From there both houses of Congress would need to approve with supermajorities. So let's break this fever dream down. Literally ALL of Trump's cabinet are shilling for his with immense loyalty (see their first full meeting and the praise they all gave him) not to mention Pence is never going to betray the man he gave up everything to run with. And congress is currently completely controlled by Republicans. So, the Cabinet, VP, and all of Congress are on his side. What do you think the chances are of the greatest political coup since Brutus betrayed Caesar? Literally none.

They won't get any of the Cabinet to turn let alone a majority, and couldn't assemble two thirds of either legislative body against Trump.

Approximately 0%.

You'd have a better chance of selling swamp land in Florida than concretely proving someone is too stupid to be President. There is no evidence of Trump himself being compromised in any way from Russia. The President is literally the only person in government who is immune from conflicts of interest and is the only person who can financially benefit from being in office. As for something other than death or stroke, the VP would automatically take over in those cases. George HW Bush became acting president while Reagan was put under anesthesia after being shot, and Cheney became acting president several times while George W Bush had operations performed. This question is basically too painfully obvious to answer.

So not really any chance.
You would need Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, and Orrin Hatch, as well as most of the Republican party to go against Trump.
But, hypothetically, if that were to happen, what would Trump need to do to prove that he was 'unable' to govern?
