Yeah, but these partisan hacks were not on active duty when they attacked the President...so hard to say how that fits in to the UCMJ....

10 U.S. Code § 888 - Art. 88. Contempt toward officials

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

It doesn’t mention while on active duty so I must assume that the law still applies after leaving active duty
