Billionaire Tom Steyer has launched an advertising campaign which calls for the impeachment of President Trump.
In an ad posted on his YouTube channel, the Democratic activist called for the American people to sign a petition for impeachment and to encourage their member of Congress to take a public stance.
The 60-year-old criticised the US congress and the Trump administration for “doing nothing” about a president who he claims is “mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons”.
It is claimed Mr Steyer forked out at least $10 million for the advertisement campaign.

On the website for his campaign ‘Need to Impeach’, Mr Steyer writes: “Donald Trump has brought us to the brink of nuclear war, obstructed justice, and taken money from foreign governments. We need to impeach this dangerous president.”
If Mr Trump was impeached, he would be formally charged with what the US constitution brands “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
Should the US Congress then vote to impeach him, Mr Trump would have to be found guilty by a two-thirds majority of the Senate before being removed from office.
