MAGA PGA Breaking: Trump awarding Medal of Freedom to Annika Sorenstam, Gary Player, Babe Zaharias



A WH official says this AM that Trump still plans to award the Medal of Freedom to 3 golfers today during an 11:30a East Room ceremony.

He'll award the medal to Annika Sorenstam, Gary Player, and Babe Zaharias (posthumously), the official said.

It's not open to the press.

I assume her family sponsored her. Biden, I am sure, would be more than happy to give it as well. They should have waited.

I hope they take note of who trump awards to, not any low level working Joes.

and that might be low.




Dustin Johnson and his brother/caddie Austin Johnson are huge MAGA guys.

While the nations burns from the fires of the pandemic and insurrection he personally stoked, he uses his time giving out meaningless rewards and accolades to golfers... Unreal but believable b.s. by a cretin without a moral compass.

The Swede advances American freedom by putting her name on beauty products, at least she is blond and good looking so we know why the creeper in chief sees the wisdom in that.
The redneck advances American freedom by being a tRump suck up.
The dead person advances American freedom by never criticizing tRump.
It all makes perfect sense on what is an important and necessary duty for the tRump to do on the day after his miserable failed insurrection.

Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player live in Florida, and Babe Zaharias had a large Florida golf footprint.
