I think its basically the highest honor / award a civilian can get.

its basically just for being a good person and because hes friends with Trump

If you don't get it, it's because you don't know the previous winners.

Good lord, I missed that Trump gave one to Rush Limbaugh. I think if I'd been a previous recipient of one I would have mailed it back at that point.

Yeah I wonder if medals can be rescinded? Because this one sure as fuck should be.

Nah, most of Trump's seem to be for sports figures and political cronies.

As opposed to Obama, who awarded it to... sports figures and political cronies >_>

In fact, one of his last medals wasn't even given to an athlete or coach, it went to a sportscaster. These medals have always gone to whoever the president feels like recognizing. It's basically a Nobel Peace Prize -- a meaningless honor arbitrarily bestowed by a biased awarder.
