He in principle can give away no secrets with long shelf life. The reason is simple. shelve life of any secret fundamentally depends on how long it’s original owner fails to suspect it has been compromised. So the fact that we strongly suspects he may have given it away immediately and drastically shortens the shelf life of the secret he is in position to compromise to a few days, months, or at most a few years if it concerns fundamental technical aspects that are extremely difficult to change.
Thus the cost of the undisguised betrayal lies largely in the cost of making the secret thus compromised obsolete.
So the average amount of damage trump can do by defecting to Russia would be vastly less, on a per secret basis, than what a undiscovered traitor in a sensitive position giving away secrets over years, whose betrayal remains undiscovered for a long time while those he betrayed the secrets to made the maximum amount of unrecognized use of the secret, could do.
Getting the GOP darling trump to defect to a hostile country in order to destroy the GOP would be one of the cheapest ways to enhance wholistic national security for the next 25-50 years.
