White House insiders told The Wall Street Journal in a report published Saturday night that amid the chaos of his war on Iran, Trump, 79, has considered giving himself the Medal of Honor—the nation’s most prestigious military recognition.

Among those distractions, the insiders said Trump has mused about honoring himself with the Medal of Honor—an award authorized by the commander in chief to recognize a military service member who “distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.”
The Journal reported that Trump pondered the idea during a White House reception ahead of the nation’s semiquincentennial this July, saying he deserved it because his plane flew into Iraq on an unlit runway during a first-term trip to visit troops stationed in the country, citing people who were at the event. |

“I flew to Iraq and was extremely brave. In fact, so brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said. “I said to my people: am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?”
Trump noted how he’d bestowed the decoration upon numerous amputees and said it would be a “stretch” to give it to himself, but didn’t rule out the possibility.
“I’m going to test the law, I’m going to say… let’s give it a shot. Maybe I’ll win in court after everyone sues me," he added. |
