Is Trump right when he says that Snowden is a Traitor and should be prosecuted? Is he right when he calls for more espionage on civillians and allied nations?

There's a nuanced argument to be made that, because of the way he chose to leak the information, he committed treason. Is it absurd to think that he can be a whistleblower and a traitor at the same time?
Regardless, you know who else thinks Snowden is a traitor and should be prosecuted? You guessed it - Bernie Sanders.

That doesnt change a thing about what Trump said.
If snowden is not a traitor, then the statement that Trump is never wrong is by definition wrong.
