Asked why the fuck he would say the Presidential Medal of Freedom – which can be awarded to anyone the president choses – convicted felon former President Trump over the weekend told a local Pennsylvania reporter that he “only heard when I say ‘better,’ I would rather, in a certain way, get it, because people that get the Congressional Medal of Honor – which I’ve given to many – are often horribly wounded or dead. They’re often dead. They get it posthumously. When you get the Congressional Medal of Honor – I always consider that to be the ultimate, but it is a painful thing to get it. When you get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, it’s usually for other things, like you’ve achieved great success in sports or you’ve achieved great success someplace else,” CNN reports.

Former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly, a former Marine Corps general who confirmed to CNN last year that the fat bastard did in fact call fallen service members “suckers and losers,” commented to the network Monday, saying “Think of Normandy, Iwo Jima, Vietnam or Fallujah. The Medal of Honor is earned, not won, by incredibly brave actions on the battlefield under fire typically by very young men who joined when others did not to defend their country. To the service member, the oath is sacred and taken with the understanding that one could be seriously wounded, captured or killed in living up to the words. No president, member of Congress, judge or political appointee – and certainly no recipient of the Presidential Medal – will ever be asked to give life or limb to protect the Constitution. The two awards cannot be compared in any way. Not even close.”
