      Didn’t he give one to Limbaugh? Pretty sure it lost all prestige then. Now it’s just a joke.

    I mean he already made the medal worthless during his first term. So who cares at this point? It doesn’t do anything for the recipient (assuming they’re alive) other than give clout, but the clout has been stripped, so it’s really just a useless piece of metal.

    I’ve got one. So does my dog. Who cares?
