Trump's abuse of power in withholding aid to Ukraine definitely hurt
Ukraine in their on going war with Russia.  Because the aid was held up
while Trump was asking for political favors, the Ukraine government did
not have the military support that they needed in a timely fashion as
had be approved by Congress, Dept of Defense and State Dept.  That delay
probably cost them lives.  It most certainly cost them credibility on
the world stage as one of the USA's allies in confrontations with our
strongest adversary of Russia and weakened their ability to negotiate
against them.  So the answer to your remark is "I mean it did harm an
ally, and it did aid an adversary, and it continues to do both".

If committing a felony, which Trump has done since in office, and
allowing that to go unchecked is not a threat to the Constitution then
pray tell what is in your opinion?
