Is this Trump’s real first impeachable offense?
Democrats are more outraged by President Trump’s remodeling of the White House than by his use of the U.S. military to kill people in international waters and his threats to carry out military strikes inside a sovereign nation.

His supposed crime is pro-Palestinian activism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism.…
