That is a quid pro quo, and a perfectly legal one if you are a US citizen. You want Trump to lower your taxes so you contribute $50,000 to his campaign. He wins and lowers your taxes by six million.
If you are a foreign national contributing to a campaign, it is not a legal quid pro quo--at least not for the US candidate.
If you are a US campaign operative and agree to work with a hostile foreign power to achieve their foreign policy ends for your personal ends, then you are committing treason.
