H P Hundt should have read that list a bit more closely. Yes, President Obama did award 123 medals, but Hollywood was not particularly heavily represented in his list. On the other hand, statesmen, scholars of various disciplines and similar people of significant attainments. Trump has awarded it to 7 sports figures in the last 3 years. Obama awarded it to 12 in the course of 8 years.
ooooh listen to all the ranters and ravers. Rush Limbaugh single-handedly energized conservative talk radio and has had the largest radio audience in the nation — for decades. Very important influential commentator and deserving the medal. Obama gave the Medal to Oprah and Ellen Degeneres…. what makes them more influential or deserving? Please. Ellen Degeneres? Not exactly a towering intellect.
Only a scumbag gives a medal of freedom to someone like Rush Limbaugh then days later fire a war veteran that has a purple heart and the Deplorables cheer on this disgusting behaviour Trumps supporters have zero morals and are nothing but criminal sympathizing trash .
As usual, Trump has misunderstood (or deliberately negated) the original purpose of the Medal of Freedom (which is quite different from the Medal of Honor). He believes in awarding it to those who suppressFreedom.
Trump most definitely cheapened the worth and meaning of the Presidential Medal of Freedom as much as he cheapened the Purple Heart when some knucklehead supporter gave him his medal.

So many ways to debase America and he is glad to use them.

I can see several cartoonists that are vying for one of those medals.. Seems all it takes is to badmouth the opposition while supporting a fool.

I am sure the price is more that ten cents – check with his re-election campaign for current pricing.

Reminds me of all the medals Obama gave to entertainers who did nothing but support Hillary.

Sadly accurate Lalo; the orange treasonweasel cheapens everything he touches.

Every good thing he touches comes away tarnished. Or, often, much worse than that. EVERY ONE !

Bonespurs reduced the price to 2 cents, or twice what he’s worth as a human being.
