Do you think that we will see more UCMJ for Contempt Towards Officials (Article 88) in today's divided country under a Trump administration?

A while back, a fellow Warrant Officer posted a question asking if we should hold people accountable in cases of disrespect towards the President. We saw very few cases of this during the last 8 years.
In my last 4 duty stations covering Pres. Obama's time in office I have noticed a right-leaning Army and wonder if we will see more Article 88 prosecutions under our new CIC.

When I was active duty the UCMJ was to be adhered to period. My opinion was not important to the mission. Following orders was. It amazes me that this is a question on this site. now to qualify, if ask my opinion. I gave it with the understanding my orders were paramount. And when off duty, the UCMJ wasn't.
