how much for a medal of freedom?

This will be the first time, and NOT the last time in the trump regime, that the Presidential Medal of Freedom has be sold. Future buyers: Koch brothers, Jared Kuchner's father, Sheldon Adelson, Betsy DeVoss, and anyone else with cash for JarVanka and Donnie-boy

And they bitch about Soros when both sides have their mega-donors. We need to end Citizen's United and restore the power of the people. Right now our government is bought and paid for.

I didn't think it possible, but trump has found a way to degrade even this. Now all his Lemmings have to think of a way to tie this to Obama and make it Obama's fault.

Sad Politico, Very Sad........ It is about what she has accomplished, not who she Married..........😏

What, not David Duke?

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Money 💰 & Power gets you medals what a joke

So what it’s what she did that counts. Obama gave metal of honors to every celebrity supported him. Trump gives vets every week real metals of honors

This, like everything he does is a disgrace

So she bought it?

I think the Medal of Freedom ought to to MARLA MAPLES IVANA TRUMP

With one bought & paid for nomination Trump has made the Congressional Medal of Freedom meaningless under his watch

And you wonder why some people have no respect for America institutions this is a perfect example

One more piece of sh*t to add to the pile that grows by the day in the White House

Hmmm.

SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN?

This is absolute bullshit

Why?

Oh well, might as well sell them in the tourist shops on the mall.

Will she be wearing pasties and g string from her old act

Everything and anything for sale in trumpamerikkka.

WTF

She has to share a bed with that scabby troll, so sure give her a medal.

Debasing the Medal of Freedom for a dollar

for $$

💰💰 can buy lots of undeserved things! 🤮

It can go with Oprah's.

WOW! Way to diminish the amazing body of work by this Jewish Woman! Guess you don’t believe a Jewish woman who dedicated her life to philanthropy deserves this but Obama’s celebrity buddies do. Shame on you.

Bullshit 🙅🏾‍♀️

I'm guilty. I admit it. I constantly rant about my resentment towards this President. But I am only a concerned citizen. My vote is my voice. When will our Senate and House of Rep. fulfilll their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and impeach this defective, incompetent crook

Oh Lord

What a joke.

The Medal of Freedom is now a poker chip in Adelson's casino.

Can a later administration strip her of the Medal of Freedom if it's a pay-off to a donor?

President Obama gave them out like skittles to every liberal loon who coughed up a buck.

What a joke this administration is.

Swamp

Rich people and there medals and self praising events. These are truly disgusting people.

Also, the Koch Brothers are going to get statues to the right and left of Abraham at the Lincoln Memorial; he Washington Monument is to be renamed The Walmart Center at Washington Monument; and finally, the Trump name will appear in 12 foot high golden letters in front of the WH.

So now the USA re-invents nobility.

Now we can all witness what money can buy.....

Trump smears figurative s*** on everything he touches. Next up: The Presidential Medal of Freedom, on account of who he mistakenly believes is worthy of receiving it.

WTF did she do for the country?

Disgraceful

Moral of the story: $113 million dollars to GOP gets your wife a Medal of Freedom. Got it!

Seems logical

Booooo

Joke? For what?

that’s rich😒

Disgraceful

Trump has seriously gone too far this time - just when I think his behavior could not get any worse. On the eve of Veterans Day no less!

Haha

There is nothing in this administration that you cannot buy...NOTHING !!!

Will have diminished the value and honor of that medal for all those who actually earned it; instead of having paid for it.

Chiefly people, whose situation with data management plans are too well-known along with frightening of cables, cooling devices and hardware to facilitate.

Let me correct this for you: 'Wife of GOP megadonor buys Presidential Medal of Freedom'.

Because...
