While speaking to a crowd at the White House for Black History Month on Wednesday, Trump surprised everyone with a big announcement about Dr. Ben Carson.
He revealed that Carson is going to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor he certainly deserves.
You could tell that the crowd approved on this news when Trump told them it was going to happen.
Dr. Carson truly deserves this award. He is an American patriot.

I was pleased to hear this, he’s deserving of this recognition.
“is voice is soooo soothing.”
It’s hard to imagine that he had serious anger issues when he was young — which he did. IIRC, he pulled a knife on his mother when in high school, and that incident was the impetus for him to get a handle on his own anger — again ... IIRC.
I just read up on his anger issues...holy cripes...
Did you see the movie biography about him, “Healing Hands”?
I’ll google it...thanks
