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.

It's never ceased to amaze me how the black community refused to hold up Dr. Carson as a role model but would rather point towards people like someone who calls himself snoop dog.
Talk about wrong headed thinking....sheesh. SMH

This is wonderful news!
Whoa, I am reeling with shock over this stunning announcement.
Yes, it is!
Dr. Carson has always come across as a common sense guy. Trump has been very fond of him for a long time. In the first debates neither attacked the other.
“””It’s never ceased to amaze me how the black community refused to hold up Dr. Carson as a role model “””
They think Saint Floyd is a hero. Not Doctor Ben Carson.
Not stunning news.
Trump yesterday issuing an EO protecting glyphosate, however, is:
MAHAHAHA.
Civilized v uncivilized. Thank you POTUS. Thank you Dr. Carson.
The Medal is well deserved.
Dr. Ben Carson received the Medal of Freedom in 2008.

I’ll be over with the smelling salts right away. Honestly, those guys at GP with their heated language…
The Family of Dr. Martin Luther King approves of this message.
HUZZAH!
Now he’ll have two of them!
Speaking of Snoop Dog- I was watching the tail-end of NBC’s prime time Olympic broadcast last night, and they showed Snoop Dog having dinner in a ritzy Italian restaurant with none other than Martha Stewart. It was hilarious. He was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, she was giving him looks. I don’t know if that’s on line somewhere, but it was comedy gold.
If it’s good for Monsanto it’s good for America.
Dr. Carson is certainly deserving of it!
Excellent!
You receive respect by being respectable. Dr. Carson is such a respectable man.
Having worked for 25 years at one of Harvard Medical School’s large teaching hospital I can assure you that you don’t get a faculty appointment at Hopkins...and serve as a neurosurgeon there...unless you’re the cream of the crop...regardless of your race.
I had Carson as my pick until Trump rose to the top of the ladder. Really happy when Trump installed in him in the Cabinet.
