3. I'd be more impressed if he'd hung a pacifier around Trump's neck.

But at least that'll hold his attention for more than 30 seconds.

because I don't think he can keep it.

I believe that medal could be considered an emolument.

If you want something from Dolt 45 all you have to do is flatter him and make a big deal over him. It doesn't hurt to project his image on the side of a building and give him a gold trinket, either (which is not his to keep but, as a gift from a foreign government, must be turned over to the National Archives. I wonder if he knows that). The Saudis get their arms deal and clueless Trump can go home and brag about how much they love him.

14. His hands are not the same color as his face.

And what the hell color IS his face today? Yeesh.

I'm sure he loved getting a big honking gold thing hung around his neck, and he will probably get it appraised to see how much it is worth.

Gifts from foreign governments belong to the National Archives.

He'll be really pissed off when he finds out.
