So has she bought the medal without any ground of merit to deserve it?

You mean this person? Yeah, I guess the actual reason for getting it means nothing to you Trump haters. Disgusted in all of you! EnemyOfThePeople MedalOfFreedom

Expensive necklace Miriam.

Play for pay here we go

What is wrong with this picture? Diminish the concept behind the medals. All provided by Rump should be ignored!

Honor and Freedom come with Price Tage, The Rich Lady paid Millions she only get one! that’s not Fair, she’s been Robbed

Drain the swamp

Some thing for some thing or nothing for nothing. Legal proverb.

Clinton pardoned Mark Rich for millions. Clinton wins.

Thats just wrong medals for money thats the trump way sickening.

Because in his mind, anything can be bought.

Facist pig.

JMoravetz What a scam from Adelson to Devos.

Great way to de-value an award.

Please see Warren Buffet. While you’re at it check Brooke Astor.

The whole damn presidency is for sale under this guy. Shame on all of congress for not removing this guy.

so giving it to Hanks and Springsteen and that witch from fresh air in Philadelphia was okay but this isn't

Enough! How many more indignities can our country take?

To bad he can't give them some IQ points

tymanmayo Why not just give her & HUBBY, the 'deed' to ISREAL? SHIT, THEY PAID ENOUGH TO MOVE THE 'EMBASSY', 'OWN' BIBI & ALL OF 'ISREAL'!

Shall we have a close look at all of Obama’s selections? I’m sure not.

So.... the Medal of Freedom is something you buy?

Democratic personalities like Oprah , Meryl , Nicholson etc have donated HUGE sums as well.. They also received accolades. Stop the hate.

Hey buying a medal. Why not this president is for sale too.

Money apparently talks.

$$$$$$$$

The Presidential Medal of Freedom Isn’t Free. Anymore... I guess...

That’s Because the GOP is the party of Liberty and Freedom for all Americans.

Trying to keep us free and out of the clutches of the radical, anti American left! Like the post!

Sounds like she deserves it. Republicans stand for freedom and liberals for fascism & communism.

FAKE NEWS. The Washington Post is NOTORIOUS for printing FAKE NEWS!

Disgraceful. But if it weren't, they wouldn't be doing it.

Good to see the swamp drained

Disgusting

So? What about Obama and Oprah or Ellen?

Where's the Hypocrisy emoji when you need it? This is why Republicans hate Education , can't sell this shit to smart people. 😜 MAGA GOP 🤮

DaleyDaley03 No one on that list except maybe Alan Page deserves that medal.

I wonder how much Warren Buffet, Barbara Streisand, Steven Sondheim, Bill & Melinda Gates Gloria Steinem et al donated to Obama/Dems before being awarded the medal of freedom during Obamas presidency? Oh sorry, only Trump or Boooooosh disgraced this award, right?

I can’t stand much more of this twit.

So what. Obozo did similar things. WAPO is NothingButHate StopDividingUs

IAmJoeTrudeau Lol

Team Obama,Hillary,Holder, Mueller, et al approved the sale of 20% of America's uranium to Putin. Subsequently, the Clinton Foundation rec'd $145 million and Bill rec'd a $500K check for a Russian speech in Moscow. SMFH

WTF

Wow

Of course he is

donald trumps how to guide on tarnishing the nations highest honor..

What's the big deal...you take care of your friends and they take care of you. FriendshipNeverEnds

What in the world does Miriam Adelson have to do with Roger Staubach, Antonin Scalia, Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley? Whichoneofthesedoesntgowiththeother ?

So WAPO thinks Trump is selling the medal of freedom. It's no wonder WAPO can't survive without making people pay to read articles. YouSuck FakeNews

So basically, Miriam Adelson bought the Medal of Freedom. Nice job realDonaldTrump for Making America Great Again.” Maybe you can sell the Medal of Honor next time.

Give me a break! Who did Obama give awards to? 🤨

More of the same - SWAMP NOT DRAINED!

Koch Bros believe you should buy freedom

... did we really expect anything different from Grumpy Trumpy.?

But that’s not why she’s getting the medal...

So anybody can pick one up at the gift shop but if you want POTUS to present it you have to fork over millions to him? Okay. Got it.

No he is just giving her the trinket she bought

It's disgusting what money will buy. How could you even feel good about receiveing it? It's just like another piece of jewelry that you bought.

Wasn't the tax cut for the very wealthiest donors enough?

Bought and paid for

What did MiriamAdelson ever do but give realDonaldTrump money

Bought and paid for.

Something is wrong about that

That medal is a consolation prize for all of the Adelson funded candidates we wrecked this week

Good lord!!!

Kinda an insult to previous Medal winners.

Or he could be weak & trade terrorist for hostages. Bet you didn’t comment on that....

Wow! After Trump became President, the white trashing of America began. Nice to know if won't be ending for a while.

The irony is, that for every dollar donated cynically to obtain this award, the more devalued the honour is

Do you people ever take a break from busting America’s balls?

And Obama was the worst President, ever....

Good One by Trump!

Greed wins again.

Pay to Play.

Obama invited M13 to the White House

Hmm....have a look at some of some of Obama's MOF recipients. I would say some are big donors to the Dem Party? 🤔 To those that are so angry about Trump's choices, how about donating 5 bucks or more to the fire victims in California. That would be a good protest. 😳

Shouldn't these people be getting pardoned

So now he is selling that honor to the highest bidder I’m surprised ivanka isn’t getting one

Now do Obama

What's going to be the excuse? Just money? He's going to say it's money?

I guess $100 Million during the past election cycle can buy you ANYTHING. Still didn’t stop the blue wave.

Shocked - not shocked

WP creating headlines

So? Obama gave it to Ellen! SHE'S A TALK SHOW HOST!

It would’ve gone to another big GOP donor from Vegas if he hadn’t finally been called out for sexual misconduct. boycottVenetianVegas

She's monstrous.

🤢🤮

Look at all these anti Semites in here hating on this upstanding Jewish woman.

Unsurprising. IMO, Mrs. Betsy Devos 'bought' her job in his administration...and now, apparently, this woman's money has 'bought' something from Trump as well. 😔-Shameful.

Gross

That's the least he can do. 😂😂😂😂
