Article 88 of the UCMJ makes it illegal for a commissioned officer to say bad things about the President:

While Article 88 doesn't apply to enlisted it's possible for a troop's chain of command to find other ways to punish a troop who is openly insulting the president and causing problems due to their speech. You can practically charge somebody with anything if you pull out Article 134 of the UCMJ, for example.
