Dem Legislator Video on Refusing Illegal Orders; Trump's Response

My tentative view of this, in brief:

The Dems are absolutely right, and I thought everyone knew that: U.S. service members are, in fact, obligated to refuse to follow illegal orders.

However...the clear suggestion is that e.g. National Guardsmen have been given illegal orders. And that's loathsome and stupid. The Dems are misusing their military cred to push purely political lies. This is part of the Dems' de facto open borders position. They're trying to suggest that e.g. orders to defend ICE from leftist mobs are illegal.

And it does seem that they are coming awfully close to encouraging service members to defy orders from the Commander-in-Chief.

Trump's response:

No, he did not say that the Dems in the video should be given the death penalty.

But it was a stupid thing to say. It's stupid to say anything that might even suggest that...especially since the left is notorious for its verbal virtuosity when it comes to twisting language.

If it had been anyone but Trump, I'd say: it was just a way of explaining how serious seditious behavior is.

But with Trump, it's often hard to tell what the hell he's trying to say.

Though in this case I think the non-terrible interpretation is more likely than the terrible interpretation. If Trump thought they deserved the death penalty, he'd probably just say so.

Nevertheless, this is one of the problems with Trump--he often says things that are too damn close to being things he shouldn't say.

But, bottom line: 

The Dems are basically full of shit, despite the fact that what they actually say is true.

Somebody sane needs to have veto power over Trump's posts...for the love of God...
