Here’s the list of all recipients, dating back to JFK. [List of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients) One more by Trump: Antonin Scalia. ---

OK then. Did not know that these are given out like candy on Halloween. It further insults actual CMOH winners though. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > I knew about Rush. And at that point it became worthless. Jim Jordan too? I would now consider it an insult. That’s the thing - it’s an award chosen by the President. It was intended " to recognize people who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”[[4]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom#cite_note-4)" However, the evaluation of what is a meritorious contribution is up to the President at the time. So a sitting fuck nugget can choose to award it to any fucker he wants for any reason. The curation will spell out why it was awarded to that individual. So 1 orange turd poisons the well. I would say the award has merit depending on who chose it. A respectable President chooses meritorious reasons, the award is meaningful. A shitsack gives the award, it carries the shit stink. That’s why Dolly Parton turned it down from Trump - twice. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > I don’t know jack about country music, but she seems like a good soul, and she spoke properly to corrupt power. Dolly has probably dealt with sleazebags like Trump her whole life. Worthless con men who prey on anyone who will fall for their BS, but especially women who they see as objects and victims to prey upon. And despite being a country music star, she isn’t conservative; she has long been an advocate of the LGBTQ+ community. She also turned down a nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because she felt she hadn’t earned it. As flamboyant and outspoken as she is, she can be surprisingly humble. With all of that, I’m not shocked at all that she turned down a medal from Trump. ---

For sure. A double finger salute from Dolly. ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > That’s why Dolly Parton turned it down from Trump - twice. I wonder what the back story is about him offering it _twice_. I guess what they said about him last night at the DNC was correct, he doesn’t listen when a woman says “no”. ---

One of the people Bill Clinton awarded to medal to was Marjorie Stoneman Douglas – she was 103 years old at the time. ---

That’s why she released a rock’n’roll album last(?) year. ---

One album, does not make a rock star. And, my hope is she just rubbed his face in that medal. Not that Trump would understand it. He has been laughed at his entire life. He certainly does not understand subtilty, irony, sarcasm. His ‘form’ of humor is mocking others. That’s pretty much it. ---

Well, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has about as much cred as any medal given out from cheato. ---

I just wonder if Individual-ONE picked up on Barack’s joke. The part where he talks about the weird obsession with crowd sizes and then looks down at his hands doing the concertina thing. It was brief and sublte-ish, the type of thing that the Orange Felon could never manage to pull off. ---

Considering that a lot of Trump’s insecurity probably “stems” from his baby carrot-like appendages, I thought Obama’s hands were too far apart. ---
