President Trump awarded one of the nation's highest civilian honors to Roger Penske, a businessman, professional racer and founder of one of the world's most successful motorsports teams.
Trump heralded Penske, a veteran racer who has won hundreds of races, as a "champion and winner," before awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
Penske, who was joined by his wife and children in the Oval Office, said that "to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom is something special and means more to me than any business success or motorsport trophy."
The medal honors civilians who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

It’s great to finally have a President who is pro-America and pro-American, like Ronald Reagan.

Roger Penske is not only an American hero but if we were in Roman times he would have been deified by now.

It’s an obvious fake. Just like Knob Creek is not Syria. All these scum are good Democrats. And the point is made.

It’s ok, I really should have found real ones. There’s enough of them!! Bush gave Bill Cosby his, but Obama gave Biden his. I don’t know about the others. The movie people getting awards is sometimes hard to swallow, like Streisand and Streep.

I still recall the Sunoco/Penske Camaros driven by Mark Donohue in the Trans Am series in the 60’s. George Follmer’s Mustang doors were routinely blown off. But Penske went on to prove he could win in any racing venue with multiple manufacturer platforms as well as in business.

When it comes to useless quotes from Seinfeld, I try to get right on it!
In college they called me “the little bulldog”.
I keep the quotes in this accordion-style folder.
