It would depend on the order (regardless of who is the current president)

One of the very first things they taught us in boot camp, Never follow an order you think is illegal.

If join the military, it's pretty much obvious you agree to being ordered around. Refusing to carry out an order solely because "muh Trump" is retarded, just as it would be regarding Obama, Bush, Clinton etc. Illegal orders are a diffrent matter.
