"Donald Trump's remark that the civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom is "better" than the Medal of Honor for military valor has sparked backlash from veterans.

The Republican presidential nominee made the statement on Thursday evening when praising Miriam Adelson, the widow of one of the GOP's former largest donors, Sheldon Adelson.

Miriam Adelson has continued to make substantial donations to Trump's campaigns, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.

"It's actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers," Trump told supporters gathered at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday.

"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, and they're rated equal." The Trump campaign has been contacted for comment via email.


Military veterans took to social media to criticize Trump over the remarks.

"Donald Trump insulting Medal of Honor recipients is just a continued trend of his disrespect towards our men and women in the military," Travis Akers wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "It's disgusting. This is offensive on so many levels."

Alexander Vindman, a former Army Lieutenant Colonel who testified in Trump's first impeachment inquiry, wrote that Trump "deserves nothing but disdain and disqualifies himself from public office."

Peter Henlein, an Army veteran, wrote: "F*ck this guy. He says the presidential medal of freedom he gave to one of his billionaire donors is better than the Medal of Honor, which is a the highest military award, given for heroism in battle, often posthumously. Disgusting."

Veterans for Responsible Leadership, a bipartisan super PAC, wrote that Trump thinks the Medal of Honor is "secondary to the medal he gives his billionaire funders. He doesn't care about our military or their sacrifices."

Any Trump just automatically invalidated any attack line they had against Walz. The comedy just writes itself. I suspect the rats are going to be jumping ship next month.

Looks like Trump’s comedy act is getting most of its views online. It is gold as far as its comedic value. On the other hand, very low turnout at the latest rally itself…..

Well, Andrew Jackson might give him a run, but hard overall to dispute Donald Trump being the dumbest president in history.




I suspect the crowd watching online is doing so in anticipation of the entertainer’s comedic highlights. Looks like only people who enjoy being in the dumps would actually sit for this!!

James Carvale said last night that this was a campaign of class vs. a campaign of trash. Two classy happy warriors vs. dystopian downers.

Donald Trump disowned by hard right for going ‘mainstream’

Activists and commentators say the former president has abandoned positions that propelled him to the White House in 2016

Much like it's stupid for the pro Palestinian protesters to not support Kamala when trump is the alternative, it's also stupid of the far right to not support trump unless they think Kamala is more in line with what they want.

Perfect is the enemy of the good (or something like that). A candidate is never going to do and say everything anyone wants them to.

In the end though those far right voters being critical of trump will cast their votes for him and I think the protesters will cast their votes for Kamala. Lesser of two evils style voting is how the vast majority of Americans vote.

Only criticism I have of this post is that the video showing a few people leaving their seats could just be people going to the bathroom or to get food or drink etc.

The rest is solid though
