To what end? I'm not sure what point you think you're making but no one is talking about indicting a president for presidential acts. And as Trump's own attorney admitted, some of the actions for which he's been indicted were personal in nature, not presidential. They had nothing to do with his role as president but were performed as "candidate" Trump.

Trump had no role is state elections and has no business asking the Georgia secretary of state to go find him 11,000+ votes and threaten him by suggesting he could find himself in legal jeopardy.

Trump had no role in the ceremonial counting of electoral ballots.

Entering into a conspiracy to put forward illegitimate state electors is not part of the president's duties.

Sending a mob to the U.S. Capitol is not among a president's responsibilities.

Removing classified documents while leaving the White House, hiding them, refusing to return them under subpoena, and obstructing an investigation to have them returned is not a president's duties.

Trump is not being indicted for profiting off the presidency, arranging where an FBI headquarters can be located to make him the most profit, bungling a COVID pandemic that left more than one million Americans dead, or other unethical or perhaps illegal acts he performed while actually exercising his role as president.
