In the United States, President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks against his critics. Yesterday, Thursday, November 20, the White House occupant lashed out at six Democratic lawmakers who released a video encouraging the military and intelligence services not to obey his "illegal" orders.

 

"Our laws are clear: illegal orders can be refused."

“We know you are currently under tremendous pressure. Americans trust their military, but that trust is under threat. This administration is pitting our uniformed service members and intelligence professionals against American citizens like us. You all took an oath to protect and defend this Constitution… Our laws are clear: illegal orders can be refused. You must refuse illegal orders. No one is obligated to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution,” the lawmakers stated in the recording. An angry Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on these elected officials on his Truth Social account.

“This is an act of sedition at the highest level. Each of these traitors to our country must be arrested and brought to justice. Their words cannot go unpunished; we will no longer have a country! They must be made examples of,” wrote the Republican. He added this in another post: “This is truly serious and dangerous for our country. We cannot let their words go unpunished. Seditious behavior from these traitors! Imprison them!”

"Hang them!"

To spice things up, he is demanding the death penalty for the six elected officials.

"Seditious behavior, punishable by death!" wrote the former real estate mogul.

The man also reposted several messages from his supporters, including one that said: "Hang them! George Washington would have done it!"

Asked during a press briefing yesterday, Thursday, November 20, whether Trump wanted to execute members of Congress, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt answered in the negative.
