Well, we were waiting for this … and Donald Trump did not disappoint.
On the heels of his sharp words about the “gutless” author of the New York Times’ new “anonymous op-ed,” Trump has tweeted out a single word:
TREASON?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
And all hell has officially broken loose.
Actually, yes. https://t.co/3oA3v1XGsV

Nope. That’s not treason. https://t.co/AJPLqSuZbx

Nope. Sorry.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
Not seeing anything about writing anonymous op-eds there, so probably not. https://t.co/mER3NeVSGx

No, damn it.
You have lawyers on staff, use them.
Words have specific meanings and "treason" charges only apply during declared wars. https://t.co/0QGVKsSOXy— Tom (@BoreGuru) September 5, 2018
No.
Maybe vary disloyal, maybe very cowardly, maybe very brave, maybe very stupid, maybe very smart, a lot of possibilities, but treason is not one of them. https://t.co/cmTFq8dTEt
