And so now it's treasonous to oppose the King. 

TrumPutin vows that anyone questioning his authority or prerogatives, and certainly anyone challenging the stupidity and hatred that forms the basis for his policies and actions, is a spy and a traitor.

TrumPutin believes wholeheartedly, based on the reading of the Constitution by his Attorney General and his personal attorney, and in the words of autocrats everywhere and from all time, that he is the State. 

Not the Deep State, which is comprised of Democrats and teenagers interested in changing the destruction of climate change, but the Good State, the one that rewards friends and family, and most of all, oneself.

So a challenge to his "perfect" call has to be dealt with by maximum force. Ironically, his call came closer to transparency than most of his other claims, and his request of the Ukrainian president was clear in its purpose. Help me, comrade, and your rewards will be aid, and other emoluments that I and Moscow Mitch and other true believers can contrive. 

Oh, my, "perfect" is too casual a term for such cooperation. "Bribery" is a more succinct term, "corruption" is appropriate, but perhaps the best description of the call is "treason."
