According to a person familiar with the discussion, Trump informed anchors he will bestow Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the coming months. Limbaugh has been a staunch ally of the President's for years, and dined with him at his Palm Beach golf club over the holidays. Once, during an event in the Rose Garden, Trump praised Limbaugh as someone who"can speak for three hours without a phone call.
But"there are going to be days that I'm not going to be able to be here, because I will be undergoing treatment, or I'm reacting to treatment."Limbaugh has been hosting"The Rush Limbaugh Show" for 31 years.

Uh why?
Lol. Reading all these pathetic liberals whining about Rush. Cheapened? Wasn’t it cheapened when Obama presented the same award to Ellen? Rush has spent decades protecting and preserving our 1st amendment right. He speaks the truth with to a liberal is like holy water n vampire
Award becomes Joke!
Trump making yet another medal a meaningless hunk of junk.
The Speaker of the House Nancy 'whining cry baby' Pelosi has displayed how she and the Democratic Party truly feels about America and the 'CONSTITUTION' of the United States, right before the American Viewers! Wake Up America, is this who you want Representing your District.
Guess there are “alternative facts” to justify this. Medal of Freedom is awarded 'for especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors'.
Well deserved! Great Moment!
So? You expected the president to come up with that during his speech? cnn pleaee be real. Did crazy nancy also pre-decided that she will tear up the speech before the sotus or that was a temper tantrum that was impromptu? realDonaldTrump SenateGOP
Shame on you CNN this is supposed to be an off the record lunch and a tradition and now you’ve ruined that because of your hate for Donald Trump I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t invite you next year or any years after that. Leaking information that was given to u is wrong!
And trump demeans the medal and everyone who earned it.
What a god dam disgrace!
POS! Doesn't deserve anything.
We now have an opioid Medal of Honor- just for Rush Limbaugh
Of course that info was not to be released. It is a long held tradition of WH coverage but CNN couldn’t miss the opportunity.
Well deserved !!!
FREE DUMB, realDonaldTrump BetsyDeVosED vision for Public Education.
Bet you’ll say something negative .. patheticcnn
Sick
Disgusting!
so all that does is devalue the medal for all those who have been honored before....SAD....
We're going to need an ' to explain all the ridiculous Trump Presidential awards.
How do you know? Your network wasn’t invited. It was an off the record lunch. So, who told you? The public has a right to know.
🤮
My God, sorry that is something not in the White House.
Presidential Medal of Assaholery for both of them.
Rush will pawn it for prescriptions
Hopefully it’s awarded posthumously.....and soon.
Well looks like the Medal of Freedom is about to be downscaled to a worthless trinket.
Pedophile and drug addict surely deserves it for a lifetime of spewing hate and division
How about the Windmill of Freedom?
I guess we need a different medal going forward because Trump has completely cheapened this award for those truly deserving of it. A drug addicted, racist,misogynist seems like an ideal candidate for it.
Gross.
Wtaf Rush doesn’t deserve it!!!
I'm not sure, but wouldn't that be a preexisting condition once his insurance renews?
For hate speech ?
Omg
Fucking horrendous. Partisan media members regardless of which side shouldn’t be awarded the highest civilian honor. All they do is divide us.
Medal of Freedom for what disparaging those with disabilities, being a drug addict, being married four times, participating in infidelities (not unlike trump), committing crimes, being arrested multiple times, undergoing investigations into criminal behavior? He is unworthy.
I can think of no one less deserving of that honor.
Doin right ain't got no end.
Why?
How would know that? Weren’t you blackballed and crying about it just a few hours ago?
He should get it for his candor in broadcasting. He paved the way in radio all by himself when most everyone hated him
Well he does have a criminal record which trump admires
The Medal of Freedom has become a meaningless token under Trump, so give him one. Maybe give one posthumously to your buddy Jeffrey Epstein too. And what about giving yourself a Purple Heart while you’re at it. Whatever you want Trump, just do it, who’s going to stop you.
realDonaldTrump they are both vile human beings...
Oh Jesus.
Water seeks its own level.
But what if Rush is faking it? He said Michael J. Fox and RBG weren’t sick, so why should I believe him? limbaugh
What did he use to dodge Vietnam? An anal polyp or something rectal related? Sounds like the type of thing that Cadet Bone Spurs would empathize with.
Trump would give the Medsl of Freedom to Vladimir Putin if he could.
Just like the national anthem and Constitution, Trump has no regard for the things held sacred in America.
Donnie Jingles used to be on Stern a lot. He should give one to Stern as well, along with all of the idiots on the Stern show, as long as he's devaluing the Medal of Freedom so badly.
JHC.. TOO BAD JEFFREY DAHMER IS DEAD.
For being a huge dick? Okaaay.
Are you fucken kidding me!!! Arughhh
Why
Gross. And with that, I got nothing. Just Gross.
He can glorify him all he wants, give him a parade and a 21 gun salute, he'll still be DEAD! Hallelujah...testify, testify!
That’s so awesome! Rush definetly deserves it.
Trump turns everything to shit
Medal of Freedom now officially have no meaning.
You're shittin' me
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Are they giving the award to Rush or the cancer?
If I were the next president after Trump, I would send out an attachable embellishment for all Medal of Freedom winners from every Admin'n other than Trump's. I'm thinking of a star-pointed ring that clips over the medal. Trump's version would lack it.
In a better world, here’s your Medal of Freedom:
The irony
Can we award it to his cancer?
Gross
Trump's cure for cancer remember trump did that
Holy sheeeeeet
