Citing an unidentified American scholar as forecasting that even Republicans will declare his impeachment as he lacks self-control, the daily said, "The developments in US political circles are currently unfolding as if his prediction is magic."

The paper said the dismissal of James Comey, who had been leading a federal investigation into Trump's alleged connections with Russia, as FBI director early this month provided important momentum to create pro-impeachment public sentiment.

The mood for Trump's impeachment has further picked up steam in the wake of reports that he leaked classified information provided by a US ally to Russian government officials during their recent meeting in Washington, the paper said.

"What is obvious is that Trump could become a miserable president who disappears from the political stage without fulfilling his tenure if he runs amok and fails to get a grasp of reality properly like he has now," the paper said. (Yonhap)
