By Tom Burke / Herald columnist

Trump’s impeachment dominates the news. It should.

And because Trump is unfit as president on so many levels, let’s look at other stuff through use of the “C” word (instead of the “I” word).

Now the “C” word clearly isn’t Class. (Just think about his disgusting spew at Rep. Debbie Dingell and her recently-deceased husband).
