1. Trump hands those out like candy

doesn't really have much cache anymore.

[SharonClark]

4. Agree. His 17th I believe.

[RGTIndy]

9. He also have one to disgraced pseudo-economist Arthur Laffer, disc jockey Rush Limbaugh and Elvis

but to be fair (if I must) President Obama gave one to Lorne Michaels, Oprah, James Taylor, Ellen and a lot of other celebrities and athletes, so it's hard to complain too loudly.

2. That's sad. My dad was really into college wrestling and loved Dan Gable.

He was the only American wrestler who could beat the Soviets, and he would demolish them.

3. Badge of honor just for Trumpbillies?

[Sogo]

5. U of Iowa is my alma mater.

Dan Gable is a legend.

I’m so sorry Trump is politicizing his legacy....

6. Hey Dan

Larry Owning says "Hi" enjoy your medal

[dhill926]

7. an insult to Iowan voters...

[gratuitous]

Nothing half way about Trump's cynical ploy.
