"When we gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor— it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman."

The propaganda media almost never broadcasts Trump‘s entire speeches, but they watch carefully hoping they can find a “gotcha” moment that they can take out of context and frame with their commentary to make him look bad.

In this instance, they count on their viewers never learning that he said “for me”.

Is what he said factual? Sounds like all he said was with one you’re badly wounded or dead and with onw you’re alive and can appreciate it. This is nothing. They are trying to take the pressure off of stolen valor Tim. When the Rats have a problem they try and make it a Trump problem. I saw a story that said Trump was for single payer and now he’s not then they said same thing with Kama Kameleon so I guess it’s a wash. More of the Democrat response team making crap up.

Thoughts?

I mean, what's there to say? At this point, people either understand what Trump is or they don't. Same with Harris, as far as that goes.

Seems to me that what people really need to be thinking about is how did we get to such a place in our country and what's the best path forward. "Representative democracy" has run its course. What comes next?

He’s saying she’s fortunate to get such a high award without having to get a shot to pieces or killed in the process.

Except there is no such thing as a ‘Congressional’ Medal of Honor. Congress does not bestow that award.

Technically correct. But it is awarded by the Executive branch in the Name of Congress.

Indeed. It’s the political equivalent of the free toy that comes with a Happy Meal - a meaningless partisan award.

Very true. The Medal of Freedom is pointless, made up, purely political crap "award." Full-of-themselves politicians handing out glitz to full-of-themselves celebrities, for the most part.

And here Trump prefaces his remarks by stating that the Medal of Freedom is the "equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor." I mean, that's what the man said, right? Isn't that the problem here?

Unforced error and an unnecessary distraction.

Whatever he meant, it eats up a news cycle on a non-issue.

We can guess as to what he meant, that the condition of the recipient of the Medal of Freedom is “better” than that of the typical recipient of the Medal of Honor, but even a light-hearted disparagement of the latter is a goof.

That’s why so many make asinine claims about Trump’s comments.

What are you insinuating, eh?

GET LOST TROLL.

Seriously? What an insulting remark. How can you possibly say that. Trump is not as succinct as he once was. He rambles, not bumbles like Biden. He’s sharp as I point out in the post, that you obviously didn’t read. Not good drinking before noon, My Friend. I think you need anger management.
