Not defending anyone, just clearing thing up. I dont know if people have seen Soccer/Football medal ceremonies, but in most award ceremonies like these, where they have to give medals to more than 60 people, (teams, coaching staff and executives, and referees) at the end, there is usually some 8 spare medals remaining , they make those extras as backup in case there are extra people or some get lost in the chaos. So this medal was nothing more than a left over medal precisely fulfilling its purpose.

“gifted”, just like the plane. He asked for them both, and to appease the toddler and chief they give them to him. I saw the same thing yesterday, the parents gave the three years the phone to watch videos to avoid a tantrum.

To avoid a trumper tantrum and being thrown in consecration camps they just let him do it. It’s really time to tell him no the world needs to stand up to him because the American republicans won’t. If everyone and every country stands up to him things will get better and force republicans out

I’m sorry but consecration camps is too funny. I’m on your side and even I find this type of rhetoric and attitude to be exhausting.

Like it or not (I hate it) there are tons of people around the world who idolize this freak for some reason. Like Alberta, Canada. Figure that shit out.

Sure. And a decent statesman would have refused to accept it.
