Trump: 'I Wanted To Give Myself The Congressional Medal Of Honor' As President

[packman]

Yah - Why not?

"Donald Trump told teenagers at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit in Tampa on Saturday that as President, he wanted to give himself the Congressional Medal of Honor, the government's highest and most prestigious military decoration, but "they" wouldn't let him. Trump's handlers told him that it wouldn't be appropriate, "

1. Of course he did.

He understands nothing, and insults those whose heroism earned them that honor.

[rampartc]

15. for trump it is just another "participation trophy"

[DENVERPOPS]

50. And

just another wet dream of Trump's. One after another, after another, after another, after another.........

[3Hotdogs]

31. So let's see..... Ivanka, how much gold is in one of them medals?

What's gold going for, now?

[Tetrachloride]

2. He was scared of House Democrats so he never tried

Was he going to pin it himself?

Take over Congress?

Mussolini or North Korean medal bonanza

[tanyev]

3. Quelle surprise.

[pandr32]

4. So Bone Spurs wants honors for nothing

He didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize, either, and he really wanted one. He never won an Emmy, either.
Loser, loser, loser.

[PatSeg]

14. To hang next to his fake Time magazine cover

He just wants honors to show off. They don't have to mean anything. Once again, he has the mind of a small child, though most children are more honest than he is.

[pandr32]

16. Exactly!

[Diamond_Dog]

5. Yellow-bellied Corporal Bone Spurs thought he deserved the country's highest military decoration?

I guess nothing is surprising any more.

[CRK7376]

51. Don't belittle Corporals. We are hard working young NCOs trying to become Sergeants.

I know I was a Corporal and later a Sergeant and finally retired as a Colonel. I've had the honor to meet several winners of the CMH and they are nothing like the shitstain former President. He is such a disgrace for this country.

[Diamond_Dog]

53. I apologize, that was not my intention.

I was trying to come up with the name Sen. Duckworth calls him and got it wrong.

[Ziggysmom]

6. What a narcissistic putz. Cowards don't receive the Congressional Medal of Honor!

"I feel like a great and very brave soldier"

[UTUSN]

7. Add it to: Nobel, Time cover, anything others earned for *merit.*

Among other concepts he doesn't get - oh, like, democracy, self-insight, modesty, humility - he didn't get one of the messages in The Wizard of Oz, that the outward *things* (medal, clock, diploma) are only symbols that get their meanings from the inner realities (courage, heart, smarts).

So if he freakishly gets unmerited outward *things*, they are meaningless.

[rampartc]

24. trump is in the 'rasslin fall of fame

but i don't think he ever won a match

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. Trump fancies himself as a dictator

Link to tweet

[Mc Mike]

41. My thoughts, also. +1, nt.

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Gee, I wonder what happened to all of them??

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. I am surprised Putin didn't award him the

Hero of the Russian Federation.

[Kid Berwyn]

44. No American deserves it more.

[krispos42]

10. "For shitting his pants while under intense criticism..."

Is that the citation he's looking for?

[TFRD]

11. For What?!

Stirring a bunch of shit up and then turning your back on your supporters is not honorable!

See people, this is what happens when you follow a narcissist/tyrant and shit turns bad for the n/t!

tfg will never protect those who were willing to follow him into the fray if it means that responsibility/accountability will fall to him (tfg) for his dereliction of duty and treasonous acts!

tfg is a self preseving coward!

(~÷)
Tony!

[EndlessWire]

12. That would have triggered

a mass return of previously awarded MOHs, maybe other medals as well.

I am the sister of a Silver Star winner. What he went through on the battlefield was horrendous. Now, I think that Trump was teasing and making a joke when he said this (you know, it's a joke unless you buy it,) but just saying it is an insult. CIC Bonespurs is a coup leader, an embarrassment to the US in every way.

[WestMichRad]

13. Probably thinking he could raffle it...

… and raise a couple million from his sycophants.

[greenjar_01]

17. This is just Trump trolling

Avoid giving him the benefit of reposts of this nonsense.

[packman]

19. Nah, I enjoy it

[greenjar_01]

20. Meh

Whatever

[malaise]

18. Only he knows what he deserves

He is one sick fuck.
What I love is his complete lack of any filter. A sane person would never think this, request it and then admit it in public.

[Chainfire]

21. MOH for a MF

If Trump could have pulled that off it would have been an insult to everyone who ever received the honor.

Donald Trump's rightful place in history would be the first President to be convicted for attempting the overthrow of our Democracy. If not convicted, then perhaps he will write the history.

[Blue Owl]

22. Here's some footage of him drafting up the proposal...

[littlemissmartypants]

35. I'd love to slam his tiny hands and head right in the middle of that document

And then nail it shut on a table. But not the Resolute desk. I'm not that disrespectful.

❤

[onenote]

23. He's recycling old material at this point.

He first talked about wanting to give himself the Medal of Honor back in 2019.

[Wounded Bear]

28. Pretty sure he hasn't had any new material since the 80's...

it's the same old shtick.

[shrike3]

26. Sounds exactly like something he would do.

I always said Trump was like a third world dictator, awarding himself medals and having the military march in front of him.

[Marcuse]

27. Noah

[jerseyjim]

29. Cheapened Presidential Medal of Freedom

I never thought he could go lower than awarding Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Peace.
Oh, wait! He tried to choke a secret service agent.

[RicROC]

40. also gave Gym Jordan that Medal?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

45. And Devin Nunes.

His awarding these prestigious medals to these worthless, traitorous pieces of SHIT makes me want to puke.

[hadEnuf]

30. CMH for what? Avoiding the clap while in college?

This ignorant ass shits all over everything this country stands for.

Anybody who still supports him has some significant issues.

[nuxvomica]

32. IIRC, that was greeted by laughter, not applause

I think even that crowd figured he must be joking.

[Torchlight]

33. He's idiotic enough to honestly believe he earned one

Every time I wonder what new measure of stupidity humanity is capable of at any given moment, I need do little more than read Trump's most recent opinion/statement/tantrum/trigger.

[FSogol]

34. Are there any "Worst Place" ribbons they can give him?

[musclecar6]

36. Yep

A draft dodging fucking coward who thinks he deserves the Medal of Honor. In a same world any politician that came up with a stunt like that would have their political career finished immediately. In this goofball’s case, nobody even notices anymore. We know he is in the mold of every horrific dictator and would be tyrant that has come down the pike. Some get away with this crazy self aggrandizement like in Russia and North Korea and some wind up like Kahdaffi, Saddam, Mussilini etc.

He’ll probably skate like he always has and for us he’ll be a perpetual laughing stock, as he thinks people are laughing with him, when in fact we are continuing President Obama’s good work started back at the correspondent’s dinner back in 2011.

[Demsrule86]

37. Trashing ...don't care. Sick of Trump.

[twodogsbarking]

38. Nazi of the year is still open.

[Ilsa]

39. News said he talked at them for 2 hours. Being part of

Turning Point USA is grueling, but they deserve it.

[irisblue]

42. He does not understand that CONGRESS authorizes the Congressional Medal of Honor

Who gives the Congressional Gold Medal?
The Congressional Gold Medal is an award bestowed by the United States Congress. It is Congress's highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals or institutions.

He was never a member of Congress.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

[Kid Berwyn]

43. No one deserves it less.

What Dimdonnie the Demented Moron and Traitor does deserve is a life sentence in federal detention.

[mwb970]

46. Oh for God's sake.

[Slammer]

47. Toddler-in-Chief

"I want a Congressional Medal of Honor, a pony ride, and glitter. Lots of glitter."
