“As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I’m going to give one to myself, one to them, and we’ll have a threesome, OK?”
President Donald Trump, during a speech at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library dedication in North Dakota, made a joke about awarding the Medal of Honor to himself and his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. The remark came as he highlighted historical father-son duos—such as Theodore Roosevelt and his son, and Arthur MacArthur and his son—who both received the prestigious combat decoration. Trump said he would give one medal to himself and one to one of his sons, describing the result as a “threesome,” which drew laughter from the audience. The Medal of Honor is reserved for service members who display exceptional bravery in battle; neither Trump nor his sons have served in the military.
