What a fragile ego :(. Yet all his cult members will applaud him for it and say it was well deserved. IMHO it makes a mockery of REAL purple heart recipients
There’s the technicality that he was a “member” of the armed forces since the president holds the position of Commander in Chief of the military chain of command. But, considering the requirements of being injured while serving and “Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces", since the person was not an enemy of the united states. Then he really doesn’t qualify. And as a vet I am super offended

A maga cult follower gave trump his own purple heart, but the draft dodging bitch did not "award himself" the purple heart.

"Thanks, loser and sucker!" -trump, probably. "yes, harder, daddy!" -that cultist in response, probably

And John Kerry makes a weird face about it
battleofhastings1066
John Kerry earned his three purple hearts in active duty combat.

and in 2004 the GOP’rs gave themselves purple bandages and made an entire thing about his “boo-boos”
The GOP have always been assholes who do not care, it’s what they love (themselves)
