In an interview with CBS Boris Johnson has labelled Donald Trump’s impeachment as a kerfuffle

It might be argued that an event that took place in relation to the storming of the US centre of Government in Washington and left 5 people dead warranted a more sober description. Its hardly a secret though that Johnson struggles to take things seriously except his own ambitions.
Johnson has used the term kerfuffle before in July 2017 when he said he wouldnt be standing as Tory leader (when May became PM) because the public had had enough of the kerfuffle.
There are of course other terms that could have been deployed. Michael Rosen on twitter suggested Brouhaha and there were numbers of others.
Perhaps Johnson picked up kerfufflism at Eton. It was certainly not a term deployed at Alexandra Park Comprehensive School.
