Trump back to impeachment after Nato verbal punch-up

You can understand why Donald Trump wants the impeachment process to be wrapped up fast. It seems to have been going on for ever and having a president with an impeachment dagger hovering above his head wherever he goes can't do much for the prestige and authority of the United States. It's the world's greatest military power but with a commander-in-chief who could be facing the sack. Nancy Pelosi had wanted it all done and dusted by Christmas but the House proceedings have now entered their second phase with the judiciary committee taking over from the intelligence committee. It's a longwinded process and it's time for the big decison by the House and then move over to the Senate for a trial. But it will never be done by Christmas. Trump remains confident it will all blow away when his Republican supporters in the Senate reject the impeachment charges. But there must still be nervous moments in the White House. What if...? The Nato summit in Watford, Hertfordshire, should have been a welcome relief for Trump from the battering he gets in Congress over the Ukrainegate affair but of course there was no let-up for the president after he had fallen out with Emmanuel Macron and then Justin Trudeau. The person I feel sorriest for is Jens Stoltenberg, Nato secretary-general, who had spent weeks devising a crisis-free, division-free summit in which all leaders would follow his example by avoiding attacking Trump and, if possible, praising him. He might as well have called it the eggshell summit. In other words, getting all leaders to walk on eggshells with Trump to avoid breaking them and allowing the contents to spill out and make a mess. All to no avail. The eggs were well and truly broken and Trump went home in a bad mood. He arrived back at the White House and it was immediately all impeachment impeachment impeachment. Three scholars recruited by the Democrats agreed there were grounds for impeachment. One more scholar was invited, by the Republicans, but he said impeachment was NOT justified. So now Trump has got the Three Wise Men against him as well. Actually one of the wise men was a woman but I wanted a Christmas reference!! I predict there is going to be a series of very angry Trump tweets over the next few weeks leading up to Christmas. Throughout the Nato summit Trump looked pretty stony-faced, and that didn't change when he arrived back in Washington.
