I wouldn't get too excited about Trump being impeached. Impeachment is a legal process conducted by Congress for considering charges of
"treason, bribery, high crimes or misdemeanors" committed by a federal official while serving in office. And whether that official should be removed from office.
First, Trump has never served a single day in federal office. Second, the Republican-controlled House will never vote the majority required to proceed with impeachment hearings against a President Trump. Third, the Republican-controlled Senate will never vote the two-thirds majority needed to formally remove a President Trump from office as a result of the impeachment process.
