In a stunning display of seditious arrogance, Democrat elites led by Senator Elissa Slotkin have openly declared war on the chain of command and the authority of the duly elected President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. This coordinated effort, featuring a cabal of so-called national security professionals, represents the deepest and most dangerous state of the anti-Trump resistance, a deliberate attempt to poison the hearts and minds of America’s military and intelligence personnel against their Commander-in-Chief.
The foundational act of this conspiracy was a video message, a direct address to the men and women in uniform, filled with insidious lies and a call for insubordination. The individuals in this video, including Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Jason Crow of Colorado, leveraged their former titles to lend credibility to a treasonous message.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Their script was a masterclass in psychological manipulation, designed to shatter military discipline and create a shadow command structure loyal not to the President, but to the radical left.
THEIR SEDITIOUS VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
“We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now, Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
This rhetoric is not a defense of the Constitution; it is a preemptive justification for mutiny. By falsely framing President Trump’s lawful commands as “illegal orders,” these Democrats are actively instructing service members to disobey their President, a blatant subversion of our republic’s very foundation. Their repeated mantra, “Don’t give up the ship,” is a battle cry for a silent coup.
President Trump, recognizing this grave threat to national security and civil order, responded with the fierce truth the situation demands on his Truth Social platform. He correctly identified their behavior for what it is: treason.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRUTH SOCIAL POSTS:
“It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT”
And, “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT”
Rather than recoiling in shame at being exposed, the Democrat conspirators doubled down, issuing a joint statement that drips with faux patriotism and calculated victimhood. They had the audacity to claim that President Trump’s call for justice was a “call for our murder,” a grotesque distortion designed to paint themselves as martyrs instead of the seditionists they are.
THEIR JOINT STATEMENT EXCERPT:
“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States… What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders.”
Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

The liberal media complex, acting as the public relations arm for this sedition, has framed this explosive story as a confrontation, not a crisis of their own party’s making. They refuse to condemn the explicit call for military disobedience, instead focusing their outrage on President Trump’s wholly justified and powerful response. This is not journalism; it is complicity in the systematic dismantling of presidential authority and the incitement of chaos within the United States Armed Forces.
Slotkin and her cohorts represent the most unhinged element of the Democrat party, an ideology that would rather see the republic burn than accept the legitimate leadership of President Donald Trump.
