The POTUS should not be subject to State laws for Federal issues.
Well, Trump tried to overturn the state's election results, I see nothing wrong with the state in question seeing that as unlawful in the state laws' eyes. But whether it's a state or federal issue really is a side front that does not tackle the more important issue, that what Trump did was indeed seen as a coup attempt and he actually got into legally hot waters over it, contrary to your claim that he did not.
I would ask you the question again what the correct term for Trump's deeds is, from fake electors to Raffensperger to Jan 6 behaviour etc., if you vehemently oppose the term "coup attempt". You called some of these schemes stupid, but imho that just does not really go far enough. Every politician does stupid. None barring Trump try to overthrow election results.
