Australian here and sad to say to you all but Trump DID NOT commit treason.
YES - we have asked this because if one of ours did what he did they'd be gone for life by now. In many countries Trump and his lackies would have been executed by about February 1st 2021.
The thing is when your founding fathers wrote the US Constitution, which I genuinely think is one of humanities finest achievements, they chose to NOT include a few things. One of those things were the wide ranging abilities of Kings, Queens and their agents to use treason and sedition laws to execute people without trial. Basically since the dawn of civilisation treason or sedition has been used as a very quick way to get rid of people.
Your founding fathers (and this is why I think they really did do something brilliant) basically said "NO we are putting an end to that nonsense and we will have a Government of the People, by the People, for the People."
The tragedy of what's happened is that the system has gaps that can be taken advantage of and too many people thought the system of "checks and balances" would deal with them. America has never really found a way to deal with people like Nixon, Trump,....etc who take the gaps in your system and abuse their position. That's the real challenge for America - how do you find a way to get back to a Government of the People, by the People, for the People instead of the corporatized mess you now have where money is everything.
Don't misunderstand I am not against capitalism but I am about having balance and YES we are having similar issues in Australia where corporate interests come first and "we the people" don't matter.
FYI - I went to college in America on a sports scholarship. I genuinely like America, its people and its culture, but your politics has taken a nasty toxic turn that you need to deal with. Best of luck.
