https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...elf-medal-of-honor/ar-AAG8n7f?ocid=spartandhp Reminds me of Nero awarding himself the victory as a charioteer...when he actually fell out of the chariot before it finished the race.
After the crap we've listened to for the last two and a half years (including those ridiculous Greenland comments) how can you tell?
He was in no way mocking or diminishing the award or the person receiving it. To the contrary, his joke was about how significant the award is.
We treat all Paladin posts this way from now on, yeah? That way we get to remember him as a funny guy, and not a cunt who defended fascism.
Dude, even @Dayton Kitchens gets that the guy who ran from serving when drafted by claiming he had bone spurs should not be joking about giving himself a medal of honor in any circumstance. Seriously, how yould you feel if draft dodging bill clinton said he was going to give himself a medal of honor? On top of that, this is trump. You are going to have to do a little better than he is joking after he actually was seriously talking about buying greenland and is bothered that the idea was so ridiculous it was easily brushed off as a non starter. That guy is not joking when he says he feels he should get a medal of honor. He thinks he is the second coming of christ and that jews should be loyal to him.
I cannot believe I am saying this but @Dayton Kitchens is smarter than @Paladin . To all the people who were fooled by paladin into thinking he was intelligent, I hope you have a certain sense of shame for your defenses and good words about him. He is a pretty obvious tool.
Medal Of Honor Imprint Burned Into Donald Trump’s Chest After Curious President Places It Around Own Neck
While he is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, that is considered a civilian office. He commands the military, but is not part of it. Considering serving in the armed forces is a prerequisite for being awarded the Medal of Honor, I don't think his plan will work. What about the Presidential Medal of Freedom, though? Those can be given to civilians, and it has "presidential" right there in the name. Nobody is more presidential than Donald Trump, believe me.
Didn't they award Charles Lindbergh the Medal of Honor even though he was a civilian? Of course the criteria might well have changed since the 1920s.
I remember when your dad won the Lead Medal of Idiocy and the Sulfur Medal of Craven Cowardice. It was a proud day in dumbfuck Arkansas history.
According to the second paragraph of his Wikipedia article, he was an officer in the Army Air Corps Reserve at the time.
I don't think we are quite there yet.. But. IF President Trump is reelected in 2020. IF he is not impeached and removed from office in his second term. IF he doesn't suffer some major health problem that forces him out of office. Then I can see a strong possibility that we get to the point of needing a 25th Amendment solution sometime during a Trump second term. Not that Pence is my favorite choice but he's all we've got.
painfully humorous perhaps. But yeah, one of the things you might not want to joke about is the medal of honor. Sort of an important award and generally a serious occasion because it's very common to get one posthumously. They don't pass them out like candy that's for sure.
Can't even joke about a medal or dress up in their clothes as a joke, military political correctness gone mad!
Thinking of this scene when you mentioned the chariot: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...C2815DF83CE0B02EDD2AC2815DF83CE0B02&FORM=VIRE
If this had been a ceremony giving out a posthumous award, humor would've been grossly inappropriate. As it is, it was just Trump acknowledging an MoH winner in the crowd in a playful way.
