Trump doubles down on Dem Lawmakers' comments to the US Military

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Trump posted this on his social media platform....

"THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK, IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL."

Dems: Hey military, don't disobey illegal orders.

Trump: HOW DARE YOU TELL THEM TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS.

4. This particular piggy wants to be damn sure any military orders he issues are obeyed,

because by his definition they can't be illegal. L'etat, c'est moi.

5. L'etat, c'est moi... "I am the state"...translation.

6. It's attributed to Louis XIV.

He was asserting the primacy of the royal authority in defiance of acts of the French Parliament, and symbolizes absolute monarchy and absolutism.
