“It is even more disappointing when these comments come from a man who already served in this noble office and frankly should already know better”
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), the country’s largest veterans advocacy group, condemned Donald Trump in a new statement after comments the former president made earlier this week comparing the Congressional Medal of Honor to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
At an event meant to center on fighting antisemitism Thursday at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey golf club, Trump talked about awarding a civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 to megadonor Miriam Adelson, noting how its equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor — the highest military honor given for valor in combat — but even better, because that’s given to soldiers “in very bad shape … or they’re dead.”
This moron just doesn’t know when to shut up. No one told you to shit on the Medal of Honor because it hurts your ego that you can’t hand them out to super donors. It’s not a contest. This is such a dumbass self inflicted wound. Keep it up.
