I'm not sure that actually changes much. We all kind of half expected it was a joke, but it's a weird joke. And the fact that no one was actually sure if it was a joke or not, coupled with the fact that no one was surprised Trump would say that, kind of gets to why this was posted in the first place.OK, here's the real story, in context. You people sure are gullible.
Trump says he wanted to give himself Medal of Honor
The offhand remark from the president came during his address to the 75th annual national convention of American Veterans.www.politico.com
EDIT to add:
And WTF is this part of the article you linked about?
The president’s assessment that he should receive the nation’s highest award for acts of military valor followed his statement earlier Wednesday afternoon that he is “the chosen one” in relation to his administration’s trade conflict with China — a proclamation he turned to the sky to deliver.
He's batshit crazy.
