“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW…” Trump declared, elevating his tone as he described what he called an assault on presidential authority. “IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.”

He also chastised several Democrats for attempting to defend their statements in subsequent television appearances. According to Trump, their media responses only reinforced the seriousness of their conduct rather than mitigating it.

“It wasn’t OK, and NEVER will be!” Trump insisted. He added that sedition is not merely a political accusation but a significant criminal offense that carries profound national security implications.

In Trump’s view, the lawmakers’ comments were not spontaneous missteps but deliberate attempts to undermine the commander in chief. He suggested their behavior reflected escalating extremism within the Democratic Party.

The former president also pointed to what he described as broad legal recognition of the misconduct. “The Democrat traitors… have committed a crime of serious proportion!” he said, referencing unnamed legal experts who, according to him, agree with his interpretation.

His sweeping call for criminal consequences marks one of the most aggressive stances he has taken against sitting members of Congress. It represents a dramatic escalation of rhetoric at a moment when political divisions are already running high.

Trump’s remarks immediately reverberated across the political world, prompting intense debate about the boundaries of political dissent and the proper relationship between elected officials and the military.

As of now, Democratic lawmakers targeted by Trump have not issued unified responses, but the situation is expected to fuel continued clashes between the former president and his congressional opponents in the days ahead.
