The problem of defining treason when Trump is president

I posted this a few places and nobody was willing to debate my idea. The concept that when we have a president who is out to destroy the administrative state, give his donors and backers billions in taxcuts, we can't really label it treason. Even giving Putin data on Ukraine is not treason. Because in a sense THE PRESIDENT IS THE SAME AS THE COUNTRY. If the voters voted for him to do all this, he is doing his job.

The candidates for Trump Cabinet are all going to be questioned by the Senate. But distinguishing their allegiance is going to be difficult. The oath of office is to the constitution and not Trump. But you would then need to find unpatriotic acts and impeach them. Actual crimes would be easier to charge. But the justice department is now Trump's.

The response to that from those who think there is hope is that the 49% of voters is not a mandate from the masses. So changing things very radically and in favor of Trump and say Putin might be considered treason. And what do we do with a treasonous president? We used to impeach them. That is not going to work. Did not work with Democrats in control even.

If Trump says it is patriotic to donate Ukraine to Russia, then it is patriotic to do that. If the FBI destroys every piece of evidence indicating Trump is a criminal, then it is partiotic to do that.

And the Senators? Will do nothing.

And then there is Russia. Tulsi Gabbard will leak info to Russia. It is treason. What do we do? Fire Tulsi and impeach Trump?


As far as domestic matters go, there I was able to find minimal information. The military are not required to obay Trump in cases where it would break the law. Their oath is not to Trump. Despite Hegseth claiming such an oath.
