Trump says Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor

[Procrustes Stretched]

Trump has always had his act together. Since 2015 when he decided to run for president, he knew exactly how he would run his campaign and he never strayed from it. He would tell voters what they wanted to hear, He would "Make American Great Again." He never made it quite clear what that new American would be like. In reality it was removing whatever voters thought was wrong with American. The second part of his campaign was to attack, attack, attack and never go on the defensive. And his voters loved it.

Today, only the names of the opposition has changed, his message is the same.

He lost the popular vote. He lost that and the ec in 2020. He'll lose it all again. He's just that old, weird Uncle.

That may well be true. Maybe the magic doesn't work anymore. He has failed to honor 3/4 of his campaign promises, a convicted felon with 34 felony violation, guilty of sexually abusing women, 5 children with 3 wives, and carrying on an affair with a porn star while married to his current wife while pregnant with his youngest son.

Apparently his sexual escapes and history of abuse of women is having an effect on his marriage. First Lady, Melanai Trump now rarely appears with her husband, at none of his 2024 rallies. She made a rare appearance at the Republican Convention. Although her legal address is in Florida, she maintains an apartment in New York. Apparently, voters are coming to same conclusion that Melania has reached. He is not to be trusted.

Trump Doubles Down On Medal of Honor Gaffe.

Trump Ignores Criticism, Doubles Down On Medal Of Honor Gaffe

"When you get a Congressional Medal of Honor, that to me is the ultimate, but it’s a painful thing to get," he told a Pennsylvania reporter.

www.huffpost.com

Despite massive criticism from all corners, Donald Trump is doubling down on his recent ― and controversial ― comment that a Presidential Medal of Freedom award is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor.

During a campaign event on Thursday, the former president told the crowd that the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, was “much better” than the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military decoration.

His shocking rationale was that soldiers who receive the latter are “either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.”
Trump’s comments were widely condemned by many including his former chief of staff John Kelly, purple heart recipient Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

A person who is mental ill and has chosen to forget the fact that he dodged the draft and years later let it be know that he thought Americans who died in the war were losers and suckers. He has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades.

Why anyone in the service of our country would respect this low life makes no sense.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

But MAGA will let the statements of a mentally impaired man such as trump go. They are so captured by his celebrity that they overlook his hatred of anyone that is not "perfect" or "beautiful....like he sees himself. He is a very sick man.

 

[JimH52]

Approaching?
The Trump cult has far surpassed mindless devotion to their dear leader........YEARS ago.

We are in scary territory right now. The repub party is so desperate they have re-nominated a man that is an elections denier, who tried desperately to overturn his loss in 2020. They are bowing to a multiple Felon who has been found liable for sexual assault. What Universe are we living in when this man is the best a major political party can find?

He gave the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. That was an embarrassment....

No, that was good. Limbaugh exposed the lies your leaders tell.

While addressing Jewish supporters gathered at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday — an event meant to center on fighting antisemitism — Donald Trump said that a civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor because soldiers who are recognized are “in very bad shape … or they’re dead.”

Trump says that his Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor because soldier died or were badly injured.

Trump failed logic

So he gives his supports a metal and they give him money. Twisted reality.

Comparing this to soldiers who fight for their country who may die or become seriously injured.

Private Bone Spur saved by the loophole

it gets worse

U.S. civilian decoration, awarded to individuals who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

translation - donated to Trump campaign and get a medal of honor

Trump uses a metal that is meant for something deeper and instead uses it as a method for getting or rewarding campaign contributions to his efforts to become president.

The irony is that it was Trump who instigated a riot and claim falsely that the election was stolen which he perceived as a national interest.

Clearly a self interest

Still voting for him, but idiotic comments.
Every time he opens his mouth, you fear what he may say, that can quickly be used against him.

He is just saying what he thinks. He can't help it. He is rotten inside.

He is totally amoral. He does not what he says as wrong. He is a sociopath, no feelings, no emotions.

He is basically hollow inside. He is a a shell...a facade...and MAGA sees him as some kind of tough guy. The walking bone spur is a shallow bucket of ego.

You fear what he may say. Keep in mind you are electing this man to the presidency, a man that trusts his instincts more than his advisors, a man that is willing to gamble in highest stakes poker game on earth We will be lucky if he does not get us in a war with Russia or China.

Actually, if he is elected, we will be fortunate if he doesn't make the US a strong ally of his buddy Poootin. trump is a degenerate who is on in this race to stay out of jail. He has multiple charges pending that will be enforced if he loses. If he wins, he will destroy the DOJ by placing his devoted cult members in positions to dismiss all his federal indictments.

I cannot believe MAGA wants to place a man back in the WH who was storing secret documents in his Florida home, who actually moved them around and hid them from the FBI. The GOP is dead. It has been replaced by MAGA.

Oh, they are still there. They are just powerless against the MAGA insanity that has infected the country. It’s days are number as are it’s high priest.
