Trump impeachment hearings are a joke — but the damage to the country is real

The impeachment hearings going on in the House right now are a joke.

Anyone who understands the process knows that Trump isn’t going to get thrown out of office, especially not with Republicans in control of the Senate, where the impeachment trial would have to take place.

But don’t underestimate the damage that the impeachment is causing.

Trump has no chance of getting a trade deal done — or any deal for that matter — with other governments when foreigners think there is even a tiny chance he’ll lose his job.

What’s going on in Washington right now is a disgrace. What it is doing to the country is unconscionable.
