The trial of Donald Trump, which opens in earnest on Tuesday, is the third presidential impeachment in US history – and the most legitimate. They’re wrong because Trump’s is the standout case in a category of notoriety that is already vanishingly small. Remember, he was asked under oath whether he had had a sexual relationship with the White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The Trump case is more straightforward than the others in another sense, too. You could probably build an impeachment case against Trump that rested on either race or gender.
