It’s kind of like grade inflation. Used to be that the PMH meant something… good. Makes me sad (it would be risible if he didn’t do bad stuff in every possible way.)
Just to point out – that’s the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the PMF) and not the Presidential Medal of Honor (the PMH). The " Congressional Medal Of Honor" is awarded to living/deceased members of the U.S. Military! Let’s not confuse the two … please!
I would hasten to point out that, established by President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation’s highest civilian honor. It is awarded by the President of the United States.
The Medal of Honor is awarded by the POTUS “in the name of the United States Congress” and is the United States government’s highest and most-prestigious military decoration that may be awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, Space Force guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. It is sometimes referred to as the “Congressional Medal Of Honor”.
Let us not blur the distinction between them, please.

Sometimes all that it takes for a good nation to fall to dictatorship is not complicit agreement but complacent silence. It does not matter if that silence is from fear caused by intimidation because once authoritarians win then the fear will truly be far greater.

Donald Trump is a traitor to this country. All the medals and all the pardons, he has given or would give, should be voided….

You deserve to have something around your neck, but not a medal.

Sheer madness. Trump will get the Congressional Medal for Impeachment and break a Guiness record.

Trump was raging," white trash mob is making me look bad! "
So there you have it….He’s just using his flock for his own gain! In this case, his downfall!

Accepting a reward from Trump tarnishes your reputation in the eyes of most citizens… if it is still possible to hurt your reputation any more…

The absolute repulsive reality of the manureship of every standard of decency destroyed by the dRumpth and his BFF.

Nunes strikes me as the character in a movie who was useful to the main villain and when his usefulness is finished he is disposed of, permanently.
