President Donald Trump sparked outrage when he suggested awarding himself the Congressional Medal of Honor during a speech in Rome, Georgia at the Coosa Steel Corporation. Trump, who never served in the military, joked that he considered giving himself the decoration reserved for military members who exhibit valor. He claimed he was "extremely brave," but noted that military recipients have suffered severe injuries. Trump made a similar comment in 2019. The remarks ignited backlash on social media, with critics calling his comments "profoundly, offensively disgusting." Former Biden White House staffer Andrew Bates referenced Trump's history of cutting VA benefits. Florida gubernatorial candidate David Jolly urged voters to "send a very loud, undeniable message in November." Other commentators described Trump's behavior as childish and compared him to a "cartoon character."
