Trump goes on late-night social media rant demanding Democrats who spoke out on military justice be jailed

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Donald Trump issued another pair of calls for Democrats who spoke out against illegal orders to the military to be jailed late Saturday evening as he battles a sinking public image and unprecedented resistance within his own party on the Hill.

The president delivered his latest statements in the form of all-caps tirades on Truth Social, where he defended the supposed legal basis for charging members of the opposing political party with treason or seditious conspiracy. But even in doing so, he seemed to back away explicitly from calls for their executions, something he’d raised as a threat only days before.

But the president was clearly irked by the refusal of congressional Republicans to join him, and used one Truth Social post to insist that America’s legal scholars were on his side – without naming any. The episode marked just his latest crash-out stemming from the original issue: A video, posted by congressional Democratic members who served in the military, urging the commanders of the armed services to follow their constitutional duty to refuse illegal orders from the White House or Defense Department.”

Trump is clearly planning on issuing illegal orders, otherwise he wouldn’t be whining so much about it.

We’ll see if the military is the only institution willing to oppose Trump and check his lawlessness.

And Democratic lawmakers are correct – members of the military are at liberty to refuse to obey Trump’s illegal orders.

Trump declared a “National Emergency” in ordering armed troops into cities.
Cities that point to a declining crime rate and no need for Federal Troops.

Is that an illegal order?

The question is what constitutes a national emergency?

Trump uses it as an excuse to occupy cities and sink boats off of Venezuela

If the Supreme Court says he doesn’t have the power and he continues to order it anyway……Isn’t that an “illegal act” that the military can decline?

He never declared it a national emergency.

But you have to ask yourself, the Biden administration DID create a national emergency by importing tens of millions of illegals.

Why did you stay quiet then?

Trump: If it saves the country, it's not illegal​

Reuters

Feb 16, 2025 — ... Trump's lawyers have repeatedly tried to argue that if the president does it, it's not illegal. Napoleon's saying, he said, excuses illegal acts ...

The VP is dumber than he is.

While Trump said he abides by court rulings, his advisers have attacked judges on social media and called for their impeachment. Vice President JD Vance wrote on X this week that judges "aren't allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power."

The national emergency was 4 years of Biden. There was no illegal order. The courts supported Trump

No. Crime wasnt declining democrats stopped reporting most it. After defund police no bail, and thousands of illegal criminals going to sanctuary cities crime increased.

Again, neither is a national emergency

Trump is abusing the term to expand his presidential powers

Crime is down in all major cities.
Trump can’t point to any data supporting his invasion of our cities

The massive arrests prove his point. Crime is down now. So why are democrats so supportive of crime in their cities

I don’t think anybody claimed that he gave illegal orders in the video. If you think they did would you provide the quote?

Not even close. It’s actually what they are required to do by law

During the initial two months of the National Guard presence (beginning August 2025), official data from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and analyses by news organizations indicated a significant decrease in specific crime categories compared to the same period in the previous year.

• Violent crime fell by nearly half compared to the same period the previous year.
• Homicides dropped by approximately 53%.
• Carjackings reportedly decreased by as much as 83% in the initial phase.
• Robberies saw a drop of 46%.
