The whole thing is just,well, daft. Even he must realise that. Surely ?

Why can’t the majority of Americans see how unhinged he’s becoming and that their country is a laughing stock. Well no one’s laughing but you know what I mean.

It's partly because of the media they consume.

Yes, my grandson has medals from his great great uncle in WW1.
He understands that he did not earn them, and is merely a custodian, because they were given to him - but he is twelve, so seems to be operating at a higher level of cognition than the POTUS.

He can have my 12 yards swimming certificate if he likes!

Brilliant! smile

There are so many Facebook memes about this now.
He has been awarded 'Best in Show' by Crufts.

It should be made null and void.

There are no words frankly, it doesn’t take anything away from other very well deserved recipients, if anything it reflects so badly on both Trumpy and Machado, even she feels she no longer deserves this honour then return it, it’s meaningless to Trump, it doesn’t give him a Peace Prize.

I’ve got some certificates of achievements he can have, doesn’t mean he’s achieved anything other than simply compounding his stupidity

If a dog was so aggressive, dangerous and out of the owners control, it would be put down to protect the public.

In the unlikely event of Trump having a "road to Damascus" moment & actually meriting & winning the prize next year, d'you think he would return Machado's? Or list it on Ebay?

He can have the spelling certificate I was given when I was five, if he wants.

There is a meme going around with the White House address telling people to mail him their trophies.

That is the kind of Civil Disobedience I can get behind. grin

He can have my tap dancing certificate that I was awarded in the 1950's but he's not having the frame - it can go in one of his own golden frames

keepingquiet Sun 18-Jan-26 19:19:06

Blue Peter badge maybe?

Smileless2012 Sun 18-Jan-26 19:54:03

As she doesn't want it, her name as the recipient should be expunged from the records kept of recipients and these should state that it was not awarded in 2025.

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 18-Jan-26 20:28:20

Oh imaround, what a splendid idea!

In case any of you want the address. wink

He’s won it all, let’s clean out our closets 😂

He’s sure as hell not having my Moonwalk medal! 6 hours and two minutes, I’ll have you know (with breast cancer. Would, obviously, have been at least an hour less without - 🤣) ten years ago, all good now.

He’s a very, very dangerous person. Good friend is a psychiatrist. Not her speciality but fairly well informed. She’s certain he has dementia.

No-one with a neurological condition should be the most powerful person on the planet!

I would rather my tax dollars pay for staff to unbox every trophy and hand write Thank You letters than what is happening right now.
