This award has now been tossed into the garbage Trump awarding it to David Nunes and Jim Jordan. Can someone please tell me, other than being Trump’s waterboys, what the hell these 2 have done to deserve this medal? I’m actually surprised he hasn’t given one to Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson but he also gave one to Rush the junkie Limbaugh.
