It took less than ten months of Donald Trump back in the White House for the nation to reach this unprecedented point.
A word never used by previous presidents, it started as a whisper early in his first term, grew to a roar during his first and second impeachments, and is now a term openly associated with the current president.
The word is treason.
The most interesting historical example of possible presidential betrayal came from the nation’s tenth president, John Tyler. The tenth president came from Virginia, and when the South seceded, so did Tyler. What makes his actions potentially treasonous is that Tyler ran for the Confederate House of Representatives and won. Tyler died in 1862.
Outside of Tyler, the next person linked to potentially treasonous activities is Donald J. Trump.

The effort stemmed from the mandatory meeting of the General and Flag Officers of the Department of Defense on October 5, 2025.
