President Trump to Award Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom
President Donald Trump reportedly told news anchors during a private lunch on Tuesday that he plans to honor conservative talk radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. . .
According to multiple outlets, the president told members of the press during an off-the-record lunch that he wants to present Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom in the near future. CNN reported that a “person familiar with the discussion” said President Trump would like to hold the ceremony “in the coming months” while Politico reported that “the president also said he could award the Medal of Freedom to Limbaugh as soon as next week.”
Politico also cited two individuals who claimed President Trump’s preference would be to honor Limbaugh with the medal during the State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The outlet further reported that the president invited the radio legend to attend his speech and “join the first lady in the gallery.”
President Trump and Mr. Limbaugh have been friends for years, and the radio host has been a staunch supporter of the president throughout his time in the White House.
Many people do not know what a great guy & fantastic political talent the great Rush Limbaugh is. There is nobody like him. Looking for a speedy recovery for our friend! https://t.co/GRTt56BjEu
