The U.S. president sparked controversy by stating that lawmakers who question the military's execution of orders should be executed.

President of the United States threatened to hang six Democratic congressmen who called on the military to refuse illegal orders!

The president believes that six Democratic congressmen, who previously served in the military and intelligence sectors, urging the military and federal agents not to carry out illegal orders is incitement, and should be executed. Their statements have sparked strong protests from Democratic members of Congress, even some Republican congressmen from the president's own party.

"Incitement, death penalty! This is the highest level of incitement. Every traitor in our country should be arrested and put on trial!"

In addition to his own angry posts, the president also shared other users' posts, one of which said: "George Washington would hang them!"

President's close ally, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, said that the president's remarks were too extreme!

Republican Senator Rand Paul said: "Talking about imprisoning your political opponents, or hanging them, or anything else, is not a good idea."
