One, it is called the Medal of Honor. Yes, he knowingly and deliberately used that language. That you continue to defend that use of language speaks volumes about you.

Trump Says Medal He Gave Billionaire Donor ‘Much Better’ Than Military Medal of Honor
Trump made the disparaging comment during an event at his New Jersey golf club — his latest in a documented pattern of insulting service members and veteranswww.yahoo.com
According to trump, his billionaire donor who got the the Medal of Freedom received a better award than the soldiers that received the Medal of Honor. Here is a direct quote from Trump:
“I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump said on Thursday evening. “That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump added, referring to the highest military honor given for valor in combat.
“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump continued. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”
What kind of sick **** even thinks about saying something like this?
The geezer appears to be auditioning to replace Alec Baldwin on SNL!
Wow.

Trump is sloppy in the way he chooses words and constructs sentences. He needs to slow down and think before he talks. But he DID NOT insult recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. He said that many of them are shot multiple times and some die before they get the Medal. That is TRUE.
I think something equally repugnant as Trump's remarks are that Miriam Adelson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the first place.
Trump not only loves the uneducated, he loves wealthy, repugnant people like himself.
Late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, just as sleazy as you'd expect.

He has a history of attacking Gold Star Families.
He has called the Men and Women who were Killed In Action Defending our countries enemies, "Suckers and Losers". Yes, he meant what he said and YOU continue to defend him. You are as ugly and disgusting as he is.

Yes Donald Dump did. YOU defend his denigrating their memory. **** off.
It's still amazing to me how the Trump cult has nothing but contempt for our military and police.
Witness's on that day claimed he never said that. Maybe you believe because you need to believe it.

The elderly felons' denigrating those who serve in uniform is nothing new.
General John Kelly who also served as the geezer's Chief of Staff
... accused Mr Trump of denigrating fallen American soldiers, and expressed concern about the former president’s continuing influence in politics.
“A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them’,” Gen Kelly said.
“A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me’. A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family, for all Gold Star families, on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’, and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.
“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women. A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason.
“A person who admires murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
“There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.”

Pull actual quotes from the man if you want to convince me. This is all paraphrasing and proves nothing.

Paraphrasing that great MAGA patriot: "Presidential Medal of Freedom Equivalent to Congressional Medal of Honor Actually Much Better Because Recipients Not Dead or Hit By Bullets"
The Presidential Medal of Freedom, he said at an event at his golf club in New Jersey, is “the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version.”
“It’s actually much better,” Trump continued, “because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.” A moment later, he declared that the two awards are “rated equal.”
It's simply amazing he can even be considered a candidate veterans would vote for. No one but Donald "I alone" Trump oudl say something like this and get away with it. Why? Because he's like the "liddle" spoiled child of a wealthy family, who is used to getting his own way and saying whatever the heck he feels like saying -- few to no consequences.
Trump draws a parallel between a campaign donor and war heroes

It's unfortunate that the insipid geezer's cult cannot deal with reality.

Two:
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the United States, alongside the Congressional Gold Medal. It is an award bestowed by decision of the president of the United States to "any person recommended to the President for award of the Medal or any person selected by the President upon their own initiative,"[3] and was created to recognize people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."[4] The award is not limited to U.S. citizens, and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform. It was established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy, superseding the Medal of Freedom that was initially established by President Harry S. Truman in 1945 to honor civilian service.
en.wikipedia.org
The Medal of Honor (MOH) is the United States Armed Forces' highest military decoration and is awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor.[1][12] The medal is normally awarded by the President of the United States (the commander in chief of the armed forces) and is presented "in the name of the United States Congress." It is often, but incorrectly, referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor.
