Is President Donald Trump a Traitor?

Putin, an enemy of America, has given Iran information that allows Iran to kill Americans. Putin benefits from his friend Trump’s war with Iran because it increases the price of oil that Russia sells to support its war against Ukraine. Russia has done nothing to benefit America and only seeks to harm America. (“Russia 'very clearly' is helping Iran but admin is 'afraid to tell the truth about that': Former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul,” & “Russia is advising Iran on drone tactics: Source,” CNN.)

Yet Russia's ruler, Putin, is Trump’s friend and has financially benefited the Trump family. So Trump and his family are benefiting from America’s enemy for the same reason Robert Hanssen did—a big payoff.  “In exchange for his deceptions, the Russians paid Hanssen $1.4m - $600,000 in cash and diamonds, and another $800,000 placed in a bank account.” (“Robert Hanssen: The fake job that snared FBI agent who spied for Moscow, Kayla Epstein, BBC News.)

Lawyers for US president Donald Trump say that a review of his income taxes shows that he made at least $100 million from Russian business ties in the past decade. Because his taxes don’t identify Russian buyers of Trump properties or Trump-branded goods separately from other buyers, the real figure could be considerably higher than that. (“All the times Trump and his sons touted the Trump Organization’s Russian business ties,” Heather Timmons and Heather Timmons, Quartz.)

Logic: An American who benefits from an enemy of America and by doing so harms Americans is a traitor. Donald Trump benefits from Russia. Russia is an enemy of America that harms Americans. Ergo,  President Donald Trump is a traitor.
