must no be ended as an award. Trump debased all it stood for by giving it to a defender of sexual predation .

They kissed TFG’s rear end the most

The name of anyone given that medal by TFG should have an asterisk by it.

Who, like himself, lie to get out of going to war and abuse the system, lie, commit or condone sexual assault, and help our enemies

As long as Gym was in the neighborhood, why who he stop with just kissing Trump’s BACKside.

It is given at the discretion of the President.

There have always been dubious recipients of the medal. I believe Henry Kissinger got one. Ellen DeGeneres got one (likely for bringing LGBTQ issues to the forefront of society, before her fall from grace).


The short answer is that Jordan got one because the president at the time was a complete asshole and he wanted to give the medal to another complete asshole.

Trump's recipients are a who's who of assholes, the medal was almost devalued because of some of the people that Trump chose to give it to.

who successfully evade consequences for their sexual transgressions. Limbaugh’s viagra fueled pedo trip, drumph’s litany of accusations of sexual impropriety, and Gym’s ability to focus on his own selfish ambition while turning a blind eye to serial shower rape. Distinguished recipients and master of ceremonies.
