Don't have a cow now: Trump plans to give Devin Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom

You know, at this point I’d almost rather have a literal mob boss as president. At least they occasionally have some honor.

The Washington Post:

President Trump on Monday is expected to give Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, according to someone familiar with the plans.

Nunes is a close ally of the president, and one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in his quest to undermine the Justice Department’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

During an interview with “Fox & Friends” in October 2018, Trump criticized the investigation of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and praised Nunes, then the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who had repeatedly accused FBI and Justice Department investigators of being biased against Trump. In the Fox News interview, Trump initially — and incorrectly — called for Nunes to receive the Medal of Honor, which is awarded for acts of military valor, before correcting himself and suggesting that Nunes receive the Medal of Freedom.

So he doesn’t even know what award he’s giving out. Typical.

Oh, and it gets worse!

Trump — who is using his final days in the White House in part to reward friends and allies with pardons and other decorations — is also expected to give Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), another confidant, the same award next week, although those plans have not yet been finalized.

I’d be more upset, of course, if Trump hadn’t already trashed this award by giving it to Rush Limbaugh, who is the radio equivalent of irritable bowel syndrome.

But, hey, what’s one more disgrace on the way out the door?
