Tom Steyer is a Californian billionaire who is spending rather a lot of money on seeking the impeachment of Trump. It's possibly a good thing that a real billionaire is taking on the fake billionaire. Steyer's efforts do not seem to have attracted much media interest over here but his TV adverts calling for Trump's defenestration have caused a stir in the US. It's quite refreshing. Californian Governor Jerry Brown is also challenging Trump on a range of issues, and as usual Trumpo's response is simply to Tweet personal abuse. It's highly unlikely Trump will be impeached, even with a possible Democrat success in the House of Representatives in November. They could start the process, but how long would it take? The Senate, where the House impeachment bill has to go for enactment requires a two thirds majority to remove the president - and the Democrats don't have the votes. One wonders what Steyer hopes to achieve by spending millions on his campaign. In the end it might all be seen as a rich man's game.
