The Trump Legacy of Self Aggrandizement Donald Trump recently expressed a desire to award himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration for valor in action.
This outburst is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a broader pattern of behavior that has defined his presidency: relentless self aggrandizement and disregard for public office norms.
At the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, Trump signed a law authorizing a monument to honor award recipients while simultaneously expressing his inability to bestow the Medal of Honor on others.
