per @betsy_klein, Trump plans to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player, as well as Olympic athlete Babe Zaharias, at the White House today.

(18,359 posts)5. From the afterlife phone
Babe Zaharias from the grave has declined the medal. She doesn't want to be associated with the Trump administration even in death.

(37,848 posts)8. If these three who are alive have any dignity or patriotism at all they will decline the award.
I'm not expecting it.

Yet, American citizens can't even squeeze more than a $600 COVID survival check out of these pukes.

Ther's no doubt he will be recorded as the worst president ever.
