Can a President award himself the Congressional Medal of Honor? President #DonaldTrump is "having fun" with the law again, sparking a national firestorm after his Thursday speech in #RomeGeorgia. While describing his 2018 trip to #Iraq as an act of "extreme bravery," the President revealed he asked his staff if he could legally self-nominate for the nation's highest combat honor.
This #BreakingNews report analyzes the #Inquisitr breakdown of the #MedalOfHonor criteria, the backlash from veterans’ groups who say the "draft-dodging" comments are a slap in the face to real heroes, and why the President insists he’s just "testing the law." We explore the #Signalgate leaks regarding the President's desire for a "Grand Military Legacy," his recent #FIFAPeacePrize win, and the contrast with the actual heroes he is honoring this week, including 100-year-old Korean War ace #RoyceWilliams.
