g0177325: Not to get into the habit of defending Trump (or Boater), but I don't think the accusation that Trump called for Milley's execution would stand up in court.

So who's suggesting Trump should be indicted, besides no one?

Representative Paul Gosar understood Trump and replied: "In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung."

Mark Esper, Trump's former defense secretary understood Trump and replied: "Well, first of all, that statement by the president is horrible. It's intolerable. It should be condemned by everybody, right, left, Republican, Democrat."

Besides, Esper explained, Milley never did what Trump suggested: "Mark Milley did what I directed him to do, he did what other chairmen had done in the past, which, I think is responsible diplomacy and statecraft to prevent mishaps from happening."

If Trump is suggesting that "in times gone by" Milley would have been put to death then it's perfectly rational to reply that "in times gone by" a candidate making such an outrageous statement would have been condemned by his own party and driven out of the presidential campaign.

In times gone by a president saying the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery was "filled with losers" would have outraged the republican party. Republicans didn't even blink.

Stop normalizing Trump's inane, insane autocratic behavior. Whether or not Trump's statement would be prosecutable is not the issue here.
