Trump says he will award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told network anchors during a private lunch Tuesday that he will award Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom, one day after the prominent political radio host announced he has advanced lung cancer. According to a person familiar with the discussion, Trump informed anchors he will bestow Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the coming months. Limbaugh has been a staunch ally of the President's for years, and dined with him at his Palm Beach golf club over the holidays. Once, during an event in the Rose Garden, Trump praised Limbaugh as someone who "can speak for three hours without a phone call." Trump wished the conservative radio talk show host a speedy recovery Monday after Limbaugh told his audience he is beginning treatment, which will require him to miss the show some days.

Awesome. Very, very well-deserved.
Outstanding, it’s well deserved.
good by me!
if you listen carefully to Rush, he is super=super prepared as a speaker... NOT ONLY with MATERIAL that boggles the mid, like an instant encyclopedia....but in DELIVERY too...almost every sentence and every word choice and every emphasis... just HAS to be extremely carefully scripted... Rush is a fantastic exemplar for any speech, oratory, or debate class!
outstanding!
(plus I agree with him, smile smile)
Just Wow! Nobody deserves it more. Rush is going to pull through this though.
Outstanding!
Perfect. Rush deserves it.
I knew President Trump would award Rush with this well-deserved honor. It’s too bad we had to find this out via CNN. Was no Fox News anchors present?
God bless them both
I would love to see Rush at the SOTU tonight.
Rush deserves it! Prayers for a full recovery for my only hero...........
Yep he does. Rush has done so much for many conservatives who have felt that they were going to be losing this country because of the liberal Democrats.
I can’t imagine what the past 31 years would have been like had his optomistic presence not been on the radio.
“It’s too bad we had to find this out via CNN. Was no Fox News anchors present?”
CNN anchors were NOT invited!
God bless Donald Trump and God bless Rush Limbaugh.
Tell me about it. It’s good to see someone get it who deserves it for once after 8 years of B.Hussein laying it on every leftist Hollywood d-bag out there. Ellen Degeneres, Barbara Streisand, James Taylor, DeNiro, what the hell?
Heard Rush WILL be there tonight as Trumps invited guest so awesome
RIGHT ON!
RIGHT ON!
RIGHT ON!
RIGHT ON!
Good.
