Ohio Republican says it's time to impeach President Trump.

'As Charles P. Pierce said in Esquire last week, “I swear, it's like we elected the Clampetts, if the Clampetts were grifters.”

A president of the United States, on the official POTUS Twitter feed, assails a department store for dropping his daughter’s merchandise. On the same day, the Pentagon is looking to rent space in the Trump Tower. Trump’s son travels to Uganda to make a Trump business deal. And, of course, foreign diplomats will stay at the Trump Hotel. The cash comes marching in.

The phony legalisms Trump has said he used to “separate” himself from his businesses – though he still owns them and his sons are running them – will be cited to make this all acceptable. Horsefeathers. No ethical expert could say with a straight face that this is not a classic conflict of interest.

In any time except our post-factual era, no office holder, much less the president, could get away with any one of the dozens of dazzlingly illegal things Trump has already done. They would forfeit office immediately.

The leader of the band of Mad Hatters occupying the White House has already insulted allied world leaders, issued illegal and badly written orders, impugned a “so-called” judge appointed by his own party, and appointed the least-qualified cabinet ever. The first secretary of state was Thomas Jefferson. Trump appointed a big-oil executive with close ties to Russia. The first treasury secretary was Alexander Hamilton. Trump appointed a former Goldman Sachs exec who got rich foreclosing on homeowners. The national security advisor lasted 24 days.'>>>

1. Overdue. January 21 was the proper time to start the proceedings.

But the deplorable ones still like the head Deplorable. He can say what they generally dare not say outside the confines of their homes.

2. trump himself is still making deals out of the White House no less

Remember he said he wasn't sure about the "One China" policy?

Well during his recent phone call with Xi Jinping, the president of China, in exchange for adhering to the "One China" policy, he got in exchange the copyright to his name in China.

WHOA! Talk about a huge, whopping, glaring, unprecedented conflict of interest, this would be it, right out of the White House.

He's using the presidency to further his business.
