Well, Trump has backed out of Doral for the G7, though I haven’t yet heard that he’s chosen another venue. (Trump Towers, Istanbul?)
But, the US Constitution, Article III, Section 3. begins:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
The Constitution doesn’t define “Enemies”, but I would argue that any organization or group which has sworn to destroy the United States — and ISIS has sworn to destroy all non-ISIS authorities, but principally and especially the U.S. — qualifies. And Trump’s pullout has most certainly given ISIS “Aid and Comfort”.
Compared to that, emoluments and the Ukraine scandal are “small fish”. Trump’s impeachment should include a charge of Treason, for which he could subsequently be tried and convicted.
