When Trump said the Democrats who did not applaud his State of the Union speech were treasonous, he was obviously confusing the government of the United States with himself. I immediately thought of Louis XIV, who is famous for the words, “l’etat, c’est moi.” If you’ve forgotten your French, it means basically “I am the state.”
If you want to know what is really treasonous behavior, how about getting elected President of the United States with the help of an enemy of the United States. That, it seems to me, would certainly come close to treason.
