they gave him a big, shiny beautiful bowl!
You're right, it's a phony award probably given to him after his Saturday night rant to shut him up.
for the worst pResident in U.S. history. Since Trump IS the republican party now, he invented an award to give himself. I'm sure he'll hang it on the wall, right next to his Time Magazine cover issue (another honor he decided to give himself). Next, Trump will start wearing a military uniform festooned with all of the medals he's earned from various Armed Forces campaigns around the world. 
I didn't think his ego could possibly inflate itself any further, but once again I underestimated how small a man he really is.
In the 1990s, Rick Snott's company committed the largest Medicare fraud in history, and he pleaded the 5th Amendment over 75 times while giving a deposition. He walked away from that crime, just as "the previous guy" has done,... so far.
In early 1997, federal agents revealed they were investigating the Columbia/HCA chain for, among other things, Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Allegations included that Columbia/HCA billed Medicare and Medicaid for tests that were not necessary or ordered by physicians, and that the hospital chain would perform one type of medical test but bill the federal government for a more expensive test or procedure. Agents seized records from facilities across the country including in Florida.
Scott resigned in July 1997. Scott said he wanted to fight the federal government accusations, but the corporate board of Columbia/HCA wanted to settle. In 2000, the company pleaded guilty to at least 14 corporate felonies and agreed to pay $840 million in criminal fines and civil damages and penalties.
The government settled a second series of similar claims with Columbia/HCA in 2002 for an additional $881 million. The total for the two fines was $1.7 billion.

in NYC with dear old KKK member Dad? So maybe this is a "best con of all time" tribute from one crook to another. They have both escaped justice and I find no comfort in that. It's hard to be proud of America when white criminals face no accountability and walk free while POC are locked up or die every freaking day for minimal transgressions and in some cases, just existing. "Liberty and Justice for all"??
