For what, for Babe Ruth being half black and Elvis for having no talent.

Traditionally, according to Executive Order, ca 1945. to be given around the Fourth of July...

The Babe and the King! Just in time for Christmas

Of course they have to be dead people for Donald Trump.

I loved ElvisPresley.... 😃 and always do .

Freedom? Elvis was a slave to drug addiction

Shit! After some or all of them are long dead? Being a long time.

BEWARE: ELVIS PRESLEY MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE AND WOULD NOT WANT ANY AWARDS FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP; ELVIS PROBABLY WORKS FOR FBI GETTING RID OF CORRUPT POLITICIANS...

Who's next on Trumps list, John Holmes?

Nobody like the king....never will be

Better late than never, congrats to them both.

Whats about king of pop mj

These people’s memories will be dishonored receiving from an illegitimate, so-called president. It should wait until the Turd is ousted.

It just so obvious .

And Christopher Columbus, Captain Crunch ,Professor Plum, Dough Boy,

Its as good thing to do

Why not honor the living? Show appreciation for those who are still alive.

Next year's list will surely include Manafort and one only Sarah! The second one for exhibiting such ease at lying!

You mean 'their names' to be honored, surely a dead person can not actually receive a medal

Who is going to tell him Elvis is dead? Can just hear him... FAKE NEWS!

Umm, they're dead. Don't think they care. I don't understand wasting time/resources on stuff like this.

Michael Jackson must get one, he deserves it

Why?

And strangely enough, they all go Democrat in the recent election EnemyOfThePeople

Oh...I didn’t know they’re selling those PMoF medals at the White House gift store! Does it include a pink tie and a steak?

Elvis Presley is nothing more than a thief.

Trump must like fat tubs like He is.

It would be more beneficial to them if they were alive...😆

and who come up with that?

Babe Ruth was a racist although talented Elvis Presley was a big Nixon supporter Orrin Hatch is just playing scum. D if he wants on a dead people was in the honor Bob Grant the Sean Hannity of news radio.?

But they’re dead!? 🤷‍♀️

Stand by for the tweet: 'Now you can own a Presidential Medal of Freedom for yourself. Just text your donation amount of $10,000 or more to the realdonaldtrump for 2020. But wait! You can own two medals. Just pay double the amount and lawyer fees in case of indictment.

They should dress guys up like the Babe and Elvis to accept the medals and see if Trump even notices.

Wasn't Babe Ruth an alcoholic and Elvis Presley died of a drug overdose very good people to look up to

Why not Michael Jordan or Barry Sanders?

And why? How about some gun control work instead.

Is Trump gonna dig these guys up & give it to `em?

There isn’t many alive that want to receive this great honor from this POS!

Yes..this is a real priority right now

If Trump promises to decease himself, I nominate him, too!

fodder for the masses. Trump has his finger in this, right?

Elvis?🤣

Hold on, Elvis and Babe Ruth were racists!

It's likely they will all roll over in their graves knowing The Draft Dodger In Chief realDonaldTrump will be involved in the process. Better he opt out due rain showers and let former President Obama partake in the ceremonies. It's the American thing to do.

Publicity by realDonaldTrump

At least they have a reason not showing up to accept it

Wouldn't it be wonderful if people focused on the living?

to be regifted with the next president!

Wow! Why don’t you do something worthwhile realDonaldTrump like free a Native American that has been wrongly locked up for over 43 years. A man who was set up by your wonderful FBI and did not have a fair trial! For once realDonaldTrump do something good for the Native People.

Ha,ha,ha,ha...

I’m sure that will be of great comfort to them.

Lordy what a monumental waist of time...

I guess there still hope for the Fonz.

Publicity stunt. Grab a volunteer fireman that risks it all for nothing!

I think some people need to think further than their noses. What a honor to the remaining family and generations to follow.

I love Elvis Presley, can’t speak on the other guy outside of name recognition but why’re we giving 🏅’s to dead people? 🤔🤔

*sigh* Time for Trump to try to distract from Mueller's investigation, mass shootings and fire. Not to mention losing control of the House who will then have control over him. Whenever he does something good with his right hand, make sure you check what his left hand is doing!

Medals to the dead?

They're dead. Someone should tell Trump.

I award this medal to Orrin Hatch, for four decades of service to white america.

So Elvis is alive 😊

But if non of us give a flying fuck about this award...then it has no value.... 🙌🏾 I nominate myself as first person to not even give a single damn care in the world about this award and let’s all talk about California instead 🙌🏾

Why do they deserve that what the hell Elvis died overdosed on his toilet Babe Ruth was a drunk. These aren't the people that I would say or high moral character decent people did great things they don't deserve a f****** presidential medal

I'm sure they will make good use of it 🤔

I guess the vets don't count..

Hope Babe Ruth’s fat ghost haunts the sh*t out of the White House. fatghost

Now if only we can find a real president to hand them out.

Not when it comes from the Orange Clown.

an alcoholic and a drug addict. good choices

Why?

is this because Trump couldn't find anybody living who would show up to receive a medal from him?

Little bit late Trump. Why now?

Is that FREEDOM FROM DEATH How is realDonaldTrump going to get them delivered to hell Personally hand deliver them

Elvis in the day... what a complete doll!!

They should try doing this BEFORE people are dead.

Trump - 'Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley have done an amazing job and are being recognized more and more I notice.'

Question...

elvis lives. if you don't believe, ask qanon! 😆

Hatch is getting it for obstructing the Kavanaugh investigating as giving it to Grassley would be too obvious.

I’ve got a medal to deliver for Micheal Jackson, if you could drop that along your way to Elvis I would be very grateful. Cheers 👍

~ they’d probably prefer to wait until the next president… even in death.

Can’t help thinking Babe Ruth would have had a pithy comment on being ‘honoured’ by Trump.

Jesus next! Jesus next!

Let Donnie get them He's entitled as the Lunatic potus.

I doubt if Elvis and the Babe are sitting up there saying 'just what I need, the Presidential Medal'.

Blast from the past (1970):

Its a change of subject for a President so lacking in human dignity he can't stand for European/Asian/African/Australasian/American fallen. He knows many in Mississippi don't pay any attention to European news. Please make people aware of his sinful neglect.

Great at what they did. But why do they deserve the medal of freedom?

Who's going to not present them, Trump? It might rain...

Really?

Not from a FAKE Pres for god sakes

Elvis lives! Always knew that!

The citation for Scalia is just comical. This idea that he didn't put his own beliefs in his decisions is ridiculously wrong. He was among the most opinionated justices ever. And he did NOT always use strict constructionism

'Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me...'

What about Willie Mayes?

Why?

Trump sees a lot of himself in these American heroes. Babe Ruth liked to screw around with as many women as he could, and had multiple sexually transmitted diseases. Elvis Presley ate himself into an early grave.

WTF? People are being murdered and burning alive in our country. Vets and war hero’s mean nothing to him on Veterans Day. Can’t even visit our soldiers. And babe Ruth and orren hatch are on his mind? What in the actual hell is going on?

Yeah, why? I’ll try to look it up but who did Clinton, Bush & Obama give the same honor too? Not a bad thing I guess.

Scott Baio, Kanye and Kid Rock are upset they got left out. Maybe next year fellas.

Elvis Presley was a pedophile who slept with 14 year olds because he was insecure.

Trump...you better ask of they want that honour From YOU...simple, if their graves not shaking...they agreed with you

A prime example of honouring people too late. People should be honoured when they are alive NiceBut

Why?

Worthy recognition for those who etched their name in gold.

MLK better be one of those other 5 people. 😒

Is Jim Acosta on that list?

He's giving a presidential medal of freedom to this guy

George Ruth was a generous humanitarian who gave an incredible amount of time and money to the poor, especially orphanages. He was a good man.

Whose gonna accept them? Their holograms? Their spirits from beyond the grave?

Freedom from what? Asking for a friend. Thanks.

Not breaking news!

For what

Be willing to put money on it that at least one of those 2 don’t show

But... they're dead. Ever heard of giving people their flowers while they're living?!🤦🏿‍♀️ Okay 'president'

that so pointless

From Trump?

Will Babe Ruth show up

Don't tell him Babe Ruth has black in him

all whites again?

It would be awesome if Elvis showed up for it.

What's the point?

It's because the only athletes who will visit the White House are dead ones 😂😂😂 prayforamerica

Why?

Seriously?!? For what? Being famous?

can i get one too?

And one person with no right to have one other than bring Trump’s donor

Why?

LOL

Why is this breaking news🙄

These guys were assholes. Give this award to real people who do great things for our country.

Throw in some token minorities so Al Sharpton doesn't get mad.

Does them a lot of good now 🙄
