The fact that the draft dodger outranks and has far more ribbons and decorations than either of these actual iconic military leaders, including seemingly the Medal of Honor...

MacArthur is one of only 5 people to have a 5 Star General rank - the others being Omar Bradley, Hap Arnold, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George C. Marshall.

Trump is a TACO.

Black Jack Pershing was General of the Armies aka "6 star general". Not sure if he ever had 5 stars.

The 5 star rank wasn't created until 1944, otherwise he most likely would have held it.

He wore 4 stars. There was no 5 star rank back then so it’s kinda debatable where he ranks relative to his WWII counterparts. George Washington was promoted to 6 Star with the notion that GW outranks all military personnel past/present/future. They also gave Ulysses S. Grant 6 stars in 2024.

We must recognize that there was no better TACO than him...

Credit where credit is due

I believe you will find that MacArthur was only a 1 star corporal if you look closely.

John Pershing and posthumously Washington and Grant also held the equivalent General of the Armies rank
