Trump calls Democrats' message to troops seditious behaviour, punishable by death

In response to a video by Democratic lawmakers urging troops to refuse unlawful orders, President Trump accused them of "seditious behavior, punishable by death." Trump's comments were made on social media, calling for the arrest and trial of the lawmakers. The Democrats, including military and intelligence veterans, defended their message as upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, rejecting Trump's characterization of their actions as threats against elected officials. The escalating rhetoric underscores heightened concern over political divisions and discourse in the US.
