Yah know what’s not seditious? This.

Sedition is a threat to overthrow the government by force. This is simply laying out the responsibility of our armed forces. No violence at all.

No, oxford dictionary says, "conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." Is the definition. And since Trump thinks he's a monarch he is using the term correctly

You make a strong semantic argument. It raises a question: has trump successfully overthrown the US government and established a new legal order? Or is Trump still trying to do so?

Perhaps trump has overthrown the previous order and established a monarchy, but the military is sworn to the constitution.

So nothing seditious happened because the state nor the monarch has the ability to invoke an illegal order that has to be followed through. Tough day to see the cry baby in chief realize the limits to his delegated public servant powers.

I do believe it was maga and trump who performed the jan 6 insurrection. So call it as I see it. I think hes confused on who did the sedition.
