Trump Claims Civilian Award Superior to Medal of Honor Due to Soldier Sacrifices
Former US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by asserting that the Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded to civilians, “is actually much better” than the Medal of Honor, which is presented to soldiers. Trump argued that the nation’s highest military decoration is often given to service members who are either wounded or awarded the honor posthumously.
Trump made these remarks while praising Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, whom he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom during his presidency. The comments were made at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and have since stirred debate over the comparison between the two prestigious awards.
