Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which honours civilians, "is actually much better" than the Medal of Honour, because service members who receive the nation's highest military decoration are often wounded or awarded it posthumously.
Trump was praising Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, whom he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom while in office, during remarks at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
"Miriam, I watched (Sheldon Adelson, her late husband) sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's the highest award you can get as a civilian, it's the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honour, but civilian version," Trump said.
