he accepted an honorary Purple Heart during the campaign, which he had absolutely no business accepting, never even having served in the military let alone getting wounded. A decent person of course would have politely declined the gesture, indicating they never served and simply don't deserve the honor. A decent person does that. But of course we are talking about trump here.

Yet another of the endless examples of things trump does that would cause repubs to absolutely shit themselves if a democrat did it. Trump does it, and .... crickets.
