Trump says he wanted to give himself Medal of Honor

By Quint Forgey 4 hrs ago

President Donald Trump claimed to laughter on Wednesday that he sought to give himself a Medal of Honor, but decided not to after being counseled against the move by aides.

The offhand remark from the president came during his address to the 75th annual national convention of American Veterans, a volunteer-led veterans service organization also known as AMVETS.
At the event in Louisville, Kentucky, Trump singled out for praise WWII veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams.

“Thank you, Woody. You’re looking good, Woody. Woody’s looking good,” Trump said.

I get it, Trump was clearly making a joke. There's a time and a place for joking around, and I just don't think it was the time or the place.

That's the clean up phrase for all the bad, and stupid stuff he says.  'It was a joke".

IF a joke, absolutley disgusting.  Making light, or funnies about the MOH is an affront to every hero who recieved the medal.

How many lines does Trump have to cross before his supporters wake up?

They'll wake up when there's no Democratic Party to foil him. Until then... there'll always be some threat bigger than him.
