President Donald Trump is poised to award Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), one of his most diehard lackeys in Congress, the Medal of Freedom, according to the Washington Post and the New York Times.
The award is the highest honor a civilian can receive. The Times reports that Trump will give it to Nunes on Monday.
As ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Nunes fought vigorously against the committee’s impeachment proceedings last year. The GOP lawmaker also tried to shield the President from the Russia investigation.
Trump also has tentative plans next week to give the medal to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), another one of his most outspoken stooges, according to the Post and the Times. Like Nunes, the Ohio Republican served as the President’s top defenders during impeachment and the Russia probe.
As his presidency comes to a close, Trump has been doling out rewards for his allies, including Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, in the form of pardons and commutations of prison sentences in recent weeks.
So much for that award. Diluted. Why not just give the medal to everyone that voted for you, you orange buffoon.
Guess they didn’t lick the boots clean enough for a pardon.
This is just to soften up the ground before he awards them to himself and his kids and trophy wife.
I bet the last thing he does in the WH and AF1 is take a shit and not flush the toilet.
It’s a shame there isn’t some sort of recognition for the most vile and sickening citizen besides voting him out.
Would be funny if the medal makers put “Freedumb” on it and no one in the trump* circle notices it until it’s too late.
