Classy Don at it again.....and not a fajita in sight!
“That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version,” Trump told attendees at an event at his Bedminister, N.J. club, attended by GOP mega donor Miriam Adelson, who was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 2018.
“It’s actually much better, because everyone who gets the congressional Medal of Honor, that’s soldiers, they’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead. She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman,” Trump said in reference to Adelson. “And they’re rated equal.”

This was not what President John F. Kennedy envisioned when he re-established the honor in 1963.
Not even Boris Johnson would claim that Evgeny Lebedev getting a peerage for his donor services to blue rosettes was the equivalent (or better than) someone winning a Victoria Cross.

Unfortunately not sufficiently embarrassing for the rednecks and the hard of thinking.
Former US national security adviser HR McMaster claims Russian president had a hold over Trump in new memoir
Vladimir Putin exploited Donald Trump’s “ego and insecurities” to exert an almost mesmeric hold over the former US president, who refused to entertain any negative evaluation of the autocratic Russian leader from his own staff, and ultimately fired his national security adviser, HR McMaster, over it.
The bold assessment of Trump’s fealty to Putin comes in McMaster’s book At War With Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House, published by HarperCollins and arriving on 27 August. The Guardian obtained a copy.
“After over a year in this job, I cannot understand Putin’s hold on Trump,” McMaster says in the memoir covering the turbulent 457 days the now retired general served as national security adviser from February 2017 until he was effectively fired by tweet in April 2018.
The comment, to McMaster’s wife, Katie, came in the aftermath of the poisoning in the UK by Putin’s agents of Sergei Skripal, a Russian former intelligence officer, and his daughter, in March 2018.
While other western leaders were beginning to formulate a strong response to the assassination attempt, McMaster says, Trump sat in the White House fawning over a New York Post article with the headline: Putin heaps praise on Trump, pans US politics. Trump, according to the book, wrote an appreciative note on the article with a black Sharpie and asked McMaster “to get the clipping to Putin”.
Is RFK going to drop out tomorrow and endorse Trump ? Apparently the democratic !!!!! Party hasn't shown that much democracy to him and is suing his arse in a number of states to stop him being on the ballot, the words of his side squeeze not mine.
