I was extremely brave. So brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,” the president said during remarks at a Georgia steel plant.Trump went on: “I said to my people, ‘Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?’”He then acknowledged that Medals of Honor, the military’s highest award, typically go to people who have seen battle, and admitted it would be “a stretch” to give one to himself.“Someday, I’m gonna try.
