Oh, they heard what he said. And they’ll all start excusing it (I refuse to use the word _rationalize_ for them for obvious reasons). And ultimately they’ll all start copying his shitty salute whenever anyone claims to have been awarded the “better medal” by the president. Which reminds me. What kind of shitty military school was it that could’t teach the melon felon how to fucking salute? ---

Re Orangeboy’s trashing-the-military comment: I’ve wished for super powers just so I could send this prick in the military for one day. Note: I’m not a veteran or have ever served the US military. My father was a Korean War Veteran. He was die-hard republican, yet really hated Trump, calling him a crook since the ‘80s. If Dad was alive and heard this, he’d freak and demand he’d be taken off the ticket somehow. The way this orange shit fuck talks about the military says he thinks all those who served are/were all poor and stupid. ---

It doesn’t seem that surprising that Trump thinks the greatest sacrifice an American can make is giving him money. ---

Hate this, but got to say it. Trump says this dead billionaires wife is hot. Gives her (a now worthless) medal or freedom. Is he shopping for a replacement for Melania? ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > “The Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor because the Medal of Honor only goes to soldiers who are dead or all injured and gross, but I got to give the Medal of Freedom to Sheldon Adelson’s wife and she’s hot” To be clear, this is @Smapti channeling Trump, not an actual quote. So he didn’t actually use the word “hot” to describe Miriam, well, at least not in the clip posted by Acyn. He called her “beautiful.” ---

Unlikely that he’d be hitting on Miriam Adelson. She’s 78 years old. Although, she’s worth $27B. He wouldn’t be above marrying her for her money. ---

I assumed trophy/gold digger like Melania. I need to stop doing that, but everything that Trump does is abrasive, you pretty much think the worse. ---

Miriam was Sheldon’s second wife, and gave him his second set of children, although she’s only twelve years younger than he was, so not exactly a typical “trophy wife.” ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Doesn’t really make it that less absurd. What did she do to deserved this? Well, obviously she bravely supported _The Cause_ – that is, she gave money to the Screaming ShitGibbon. If we were being crass, we might interpret that as “_she_ bought _herself this high honor_.” But, we are not crass. No, not at all. ---

More importantly, she’s wealthier than he is. A major turnoff for him is a woman who can tell him “no” at any time and make it stick. ---

Either way, I can’t see her being remotely interested. Would you be interested in sharing a bed with that incontinent bastard? His existing parade of wives had little to no use for him other than money, and that’s not even a factor this time. ---

I just think that the medal might keep the cash flowing from her. Her husband gave over 100 million. ---

I guess? I’m not sure how much I would care about that. I suspect the prospect of keeping her own taxes low and/or being able to profit from the grift, at least compared to Harris, is a much bigger inducement. ---

FYI, the Medal of Freedom isn’t a recent thing. He gave it to her in 2018, when Sheldon was still alive. ---

I admit, I don’t know much about this, but why are people that are richer than god, worried about taxes and wealth? I guess it’s more about their identity compared to other people that are richer than god?
