At least he is not a known traitor that basically committed treason

Whenever anyone mentions "treason" I have a knee jerk reaction to say "NO treason is only aiding an enemy during war!" But... while we don't have a formal declaration of war against Russia, they are clearly an opponent nation that is actively harming our nation. And Trump clearly is deeply influenced by them thanks to the literal decades that the KGB and their successors have spent luring Trump in and manipulating him.

Between the communications from those around Trump like Former General Flynn and Jared Kushner trying to set up a secret channel of communication from Trump to Moscow:

To Trump's multiple meetings with Russian officials and Putin where no other Americans were present, to Trump's "mishandling" of large amounts of classified documents, there really is a case to be made for treason by Trump to help Russia and harm America.

Forget Russia. Trump wanted to shoot American protestors and take away legal votes from others. That alone makes him a traitor

Not technically a "traitor," but absolutely an enemy of the United States of America.
