[fluffydelusions]

President Donald Trump claimed to laughter on Wednesday that he sought to give himself a Medal of Honor, but decided not to after being counseled against the move by aides.

The offhand remark from the president came during his address to the 75th annual national convention of American Veterans, a volunteer-led veterans service organization also known as AMVETS.

Bone spurs are the true threat.

We all know how that would have ended...

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Wannabe dictators do love wearing medals they never earned so this makes sense.

Did he forget his meds today? Today seems extra stupid, even for the low bar he's set for himself.

They don't give out participation medals for this sort of thing. Especially when you didn't even participate.

Is there a word for something that goes far beyond parody? Because that's whats happening right now.

Seriously, it's like he's trying to come off as an idiot.

Wonder if there's a more serious scandal/issue about to drop and making dumb headlines to muddle stuff.

 

[Aselith]

Kim taught him well

 

[DJ_Lae]

I can only imagine what his aides had to say to get him to stop. I wouldn't think you could convince him away from giving himself a medal and then bragging about it.

Chosen God King of the Jews and Honorary Military Service Member of Valor, Donald J. Trump

What the fuck is going on over at the White House lmao

 

[Vault Boy]

Is there a medal for most bone spurs?

 

[It’s Time To Go]

There is a lot of trump on here today.

 

[sapien85]

Oh another "joke". I'm sure the line about being the chosen one will be declared a joke retroactively soon.

Probably that he should wait.

I can't keep of all the insane shit he's said lately. I need Trump dummy cliffnotes.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

He's just "joking." This is a "distraction."

bro, he doesn't need to try

 

[SpitztheGreat]

God damnit my brain is so broken. I don't know if I should laugh, scream, or ignore this. What's going on????

 

[electroshockwave]

Remember when a veteran gave him their purple heart and trump said "I always wanted one of these"?

 

[Neo C.]

What's happening? What kind of 0.5 dimension chess is this?!

Someone needs to rummage through the Smithsonian to find a cursed amulet and get him to wear it.

You can end this anytime, Congress. I mean, come on.

 

[Heshinsi]

Any one thing he has said or done this week would be a national scandal and quite possibly capable of bringing down party leaders in other parts of the western world. This motherfucker is just power walking through these like he's out on a weekend stroll. How is he still in charge of the United States?

 

[Dust]

So Trump today
-is the second coming of Christ
-is the chosen one
-wanted to honour himself

 

[Lo-Volt]

Oh look, it's General Secretary Brezhnev!

Same.

He's particularly unhinged today. I wonder if the bad polling and general negativity surrounding his re-election efforts are starting to break his already weak psyche?

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Must be fun to have a president who's clearly suffering from some degenerative brain disease.

 

[Umbrella Carp]

Omg PLEASE do it. He would lose any support he has within the military pretty much overnight.

 

[Maxim726x]

I hope someone goes through the painstaking exercise of amassing the idiocy we've seen during this term in some way... I feel like there are dozens of hours of material we have already.

It's tiring.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

By campaign time, he will have a military jacket and medals on.

 

[StarStorm]

A Medal for not participating. Anything to boost his fragile ego.

How Donald Trump views himself:

 

[FullMetalTech]

Man this guy is having a real off his meds day. All the shit him and his dumb admin have done lately is just too much to take in at times.

 

[Baccus]

Is he using drugs since last week ot

 

[andymcc]

but that black son of a bitch better not kneel and disrespect our vets!!!

 

[Mahonay]

I hope his brain is dying

I am absolutely a believer in the syphilis theory, now more than ever. He is decomposing from the inside out.
