People are upset about Trump's remarks about those who have received the Medal of Honour.
President Trump praises Miriam Adelson who he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to while in office. In his remarks at his golf club in New Jersey, he expressed his admiration for her while also commenting on the significance of the award. He noted that it is the highest honor a civilian can receive, equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor, but for civilians.

Trump continued to explain why he believes the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor. He pointed out that the latter is often given to service members who have been injured or have passed away. In contrast, Miriam Adelson is a healthy and beautiful woman, making her recognition equal to those who have sacrificed their lives or health for their country.

This is not the first time Trump has made controversial remarks about military service. In the past, he has insulted Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war, and has been accused of referring to fallen soldiers as "losers" and "suckers." Trump has denied these allegations. He also received draft deferments during the Vietnam War and once compared his efforts to avoid sexually transmitted diseases to serving in Vietnam.

The event focused on combating antisemitism and was introduced by Miriam Adelson, a major Republican donor and a Jewish woman. Trump praised her for her generosity and support for his reelection campaign. However, his comments about military service have drawn criticism from Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign. She condemned Trump's insulting remarks and called for him to never be the commander in chief again.
