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

[Procrustes Stretched]

There's nothing wrong with what he said. The truth is, many Medals of Honor are awarded posthumously or after the recipient has suffered life-changing wounds. The Medal of Freedom doesn't require that kind of sacrifice. That's why it's "better."

Trump should choose his words more carefully, but DEMS are lying when they say he disrespected the military.

Wow!

What a friggin' shameful apology.

Trump was sucking up to Miriam Adelson, widow of Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson

Trump disrespected veterans for another dollar or two.

 

[Catsnmeters]

Which veterans? Not from me. You? In which branch did you serve jimboliar?
We Veterans are upset over being displaced while you bring in your illegal ilk to take up our benefits.
Come on jimboliar, do your homework.

Speak for yourself.

The hubris. Good grief.

 

[d0gbreath]

That does not make one medal much better than the other, which is what your god said

He could've implied even Steven, and not dissed the military honor.
Some people's kids. I'm looking at you Fred.

Paraphrasing Trump, the DEMS have been lying about what he's said ever since he came down the escalator.

Look at the actual quotes, and it's almost always different from what DEMS say he said.

Here is a video of it, if you have the balls to watch it. He says it at 18 seconds in

That is actually why the MOF is worse and not really the equal of the MOH.

But I get it, in your world sacrifice is a bad thing.

This should make every patriotic American sick to their stomachs

Every time Trump speaks DEMS twist his words and lie about what he said.

Paraphrasing that great MAGA patriot: "Presidential Medal of Freedom Equivalent to Congressional Medal of Honor Actually Much Better Because Recipients Not Dead or Hit By Bullets"

The Presidential Medal of Freedom, he said at an event at his golf club in New Jersey, is “the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version.”

“It’s actually much better,” Trump continued, “because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.” A moment later, he declared that the two awards are “rated equal.”

It's simply amazing he can even be considered a candidate veterans would vote for. No one but Donald "I alone" Trump oudl say something like this and get away with it. Why? Because he's like the "liddle" spoiled child of a wealthy family, who is used to getting his own way and saying whatever the heck he feels like saying -- few to no consequences.


Trump draws a parallel between a campaign donor and war heroes

Medal of Honor: It is often, but incorrectly, referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor, by people like Trump


Presidential Medal of Freedom and Medal of Honor
“rated equal" by MAGA

2016?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"When are we?"

You are now disrespecting the military.

He did misspeak. He was NOT wandering. He knew what he was saying and he knowingly and willingly said it. He hates the U.S. Military.

Should read as: He did NOT misspeak. He was NOT wandering. He knew what he was saying and he knowingly and willingly said it. He hates the U.S. Military.

Treason? Looking at Kamala's Legacy is TREASON!! Fapi on!!

Trump Says Medal He Gave Billionaire Donor ‘Much Better’ Than Military Medal of Honor

Trump made the disparaging comment during an event at his New Jersey golf club — his latest in a documented pattern of insulting service members and veterans

www.yahoo.com

According to trump, his billionaire donor who got the the Medal of Freedom received a better award than the soldiers that received the Medal of Honor. Here is a direct quote from Trump:

“I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump said on Thursday evening. “That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump added, referring to the highest military honor given for valor in combat.


“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump continued. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”

What kind of sick fuck even thinks about saying something like this?

General Bonespurs speaks! MAGA swallows!

#SAD

I don't know how anyone can spin this statement as nothing but a slap in the face of veterans...

Miriam Adelson has continued to make substantial donations to Trump's campaigns, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.

"It's actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers," Trump told supporters gathered at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday.

"They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it, and she's a healthy, beautiful woman, and they're rated equal." The Trump campaign has been contacted for comment via email.

trump hates the disabled and especially disabled vets. He has to tolerate them for political purposes. He wants to only be around those he sees as "beautiful."

Trump stated he did not want disabled vets in a military parade because people would be uncomfortable seeing them

Trump congratulated Avila after he sang, Milley told The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, but then, he said, Trump said loud enough for multiple people to hear, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” According to Milley, Trump told the general to never again let Avila appear in public.

Opinion | Disabled vets seem to get respect from everyone but Donald Trump

Gen. Mark Milley provides an unsurprising anecdote in which the former president was annoyed by the sight of a disabled veteran.

What kind of sick fuck even thinks about saying something like this?

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.
