Because he seems to have money. End of discussion for them. Truly sad.

that portion.
Just show the recipient and give his or her story.
Don’t show Trump with them.

So I don't know from the Congressional Medal of Honor; it's apparently a very big deal for those who receive it. If I had to receive it at the hands of Donald Trump, I'd like to think that I'd either refuse it or decline the ceremony. Just send it to me, I'll pay the Fedex charge.

to watch because of the CMOH winner being honored.

I tried, but I just CAN'T. More power to those who watch/listen to Trump and that snarling press liar, SHS, but I just CAN'T. I did, however read up on the Medal of Honor winner. What a tragedy....

If it were me, I'd refuse it from a draft dodger. I'd tell them to courier it.

Recipients or their families should tell Blotus to mail it because they don't want a part in the spectacle.

...NOT the presenter.

Don't let your hatred of Chump overshadow the honor, integrity, deeds, and sacrifice of TSgt. Chapman.

Listened in on SiriusXM MSNBC. 16 years ago. My focus is on the Airman's story and his family. I have an incomplete story on this award.

I agree with the comments above and DO NOT care for the pRezident, anytime, except for this.
