The gas lighting of America continues .... Trump is now giving the medal of honor to Vietnam Vet.

I wonder why he is doing that now. BTW the Vet* is a hero but this thing stinks of
trying to change the subject.

* Capt. Rose.

1. Trying to make nice with the military? After the s*itstorm last week?

2. How long has this been in the works?

or was this a manufactured dog and pony show, nothing like selling out someone's heroism for yet more politicization of Donnie's "I have the bestest condolences calls of anyone ever in the world".

6. A medal of honor takes time but somehow I think this got put on the fast track.

Again Capt. Rose is a hero but for this just to be done today
smells funny to me.

7. Congress had to pass specific legislation for him to get the medal...

Because it was over 5 years from the event.

Likely been in the works for a looong time

3. I bet Trump was thinking about his next tweet to McCain,Mrs. Johnson, or the Congresswoman

4. It's a look-see medal award.

Trump said, "Find me someone I can present with the Medal of Honor and do it ASAP!" So, they did.

I have no doubt the medal was earned, but the award was expedited to give Trump something Presidential to do.

5. What an obscenity. I'm happy the vet was honored, but did it have to be by

the Bone-Spur-In-Chief? Hard to imagine how any vet can remain in the same room with him.

9. Obscene is right--Mr Boneheadspurs giving medals for valor?

Inconceivable.

8. Exactly

I told my mom the same thing.
Like his word matters against Mrs. Johnson.
The son of a bit cheaper has lied every second of his life and we're supposed to believe this asshole.

10. Trump thinks giving out a medal makes himself a war hero. nt
