4t TRUMP “SHOUTED” ON TRUTH SOCIAL: “REBELLION, PUNISHMENT BY DEATH PENALTY!” – After the video of Democrats calling on the military to resist illegal orders, he reposted “HANG THEM” and demanded to “JAIL THEM” immediately – White House quickly denied, but Schumer called it a “death threat”!
BREAKING: Donald Trump has ignited a firestorm of condemnation after calling for the execution of Democratic members of Congress in a shocking meltdown on his platform Truth Social. This incendiary statement comes as pressure mounts on his presidency amid mounting scandals.
California Governor Gavin Newsom sharply condemned Trump, writing on X, “The President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers. This man is sick in the head.”. Trump’s post declared, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”, reflecting his furious reaction to a video made by six Democratic Congress veterans urging U.S. military members to disobey unlawful orders. One reposted comment by Trump even read, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”.
The targeted lawmakers—Senators Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan—reminded troops of their constitutional duty to refuse illegal commands. Their message struck a chord amid concerns about executive overreach, especially as Trump ramps up domestic enforcement and foreign policy tensions.
Trump doubled down, labeling their warnings “really bad and Dangerous to our Country,” calling them “TRAITORS” and demanding they be imprisoned. These comments represent a disturbing escalation of rhetoric, with Trump accusing lawful, constitutionally grounded acts as sedition.
Democratic leaders denounced the threats as “absolutely vile,” with calls for immediate action to remove Trump from office. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and others stressed the danger of Trump’s violent rhetoric, warning it could incite political violence.
Meanwhile, some Republican figures tried to defend Trump’s framing as defining sedition but flagged the Democrats’ video as inappropriate. Security measures have been increased to protect the lawmakers facing death threats.
This alarming escalation highlights the deep divisions and volatility facing the U.S. political system. As Trump’s grip weakens amid scandals—including the Epstein files—his increasingly extreme statements underscore the urgent need for accountability and restoration of democratic norms.
