It is his collective behavior.
Has constantly vilified entire races and religions.
Has shit on war heros.
Has ignored intel, and event to the point of vilifying REPUBLICAN INTEL.
Has repeatedly vilified the free press.
Attacked our allies.
And instead of siding with OUR intel, REPUBLICAN appointees HIS, he bent over on the global stage, ignored and denied OUR INTEL, then sucked the dick of Putin.
YES, TREASON!

I think that is a slipper slope you are putting forth there, many of those things might be said of a number of democrats as well. For instance criticizing the press or intelligence agencies, attacking allies... etc. This just seems like stuff you disagree with. Are you suggesting that there be no checks and balances for the press or the intelligence agencies, that they not be called out when the behave badly? I fail to see how criticizing the press could be considered treason. One might say that open and public criticism of the intelligence agencies weakens the confidence in them, and thus weakens the country. But this is not treason. Also wouldn't the same reasoning apply to criticizing the President of the country?
You last line, seems to be actually on topic. I assume that what you mean that Trump was being too nice/ friendly with Putin (I'm not sure if the other stuff is your own personal fantasies, I'm doubting that occurred in anything for public viewing). However I think that to use the word treasonous for this, is just ridiculous. I can understand where some might disagree, and think his actions unwise. I think that a case could be made for the phrase "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". But if this is what they are calling treasonous (I think I even heard someone mentioning impeach); I think it's crazy if this is made out to be anything more than hyperbole.

I agree; my concern, was that this opinion seemed to be quiet on facts or any reason for that opinion.

No, but I thought I would ask, and perhaps add to the discussion.
