Not humor.

Fascism.

Actually an order is illegal if it violates a federal statute or the Constitution. The order also cant ignore a court ruling. A president also cant give an order that exceeds the power Congress has delegated. And, the one Trump seems to ignore constantly. A president cant abuse his authority for personal benefit.

Short list of Trumps illegal orders:

Executive Order 14160: Trump’s order to restrict birth right citizenship. A violation of the 14th amendment, and thus, illegal.

Executive Order 13769: First travel ban targeting several countries. Violation of due process and discrimination protections. Illegal.

Trump issued orders to penalize firms like Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block, and Susman Godfrey. Illegal order, violating the 1st and 5ft amendments.

DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) executive orders. Blocked because DEI programs werent illegal. So the order to target "illegal" DEI programs was just straight up dumb as fuck.

Federal funding freeze. Violates the separation of powers. A president cant withhold money that Congress has appropriated.

Directive to the Election Assistance Commission to change voter registration rules. A president has no constitutional authority to dictate changes to the ECA.

This is the same as saying God cannot be evil because he is good by nature.

In my house when we caught the dog munching on cat turds, we would say "leave it"

To be fair the US military has never in more than isolated cases cared whether a order is "lawful" long history of gleefully committing "crimes".

There is no confusion. The military will obey.
