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.

      It’s almost like he’s a sociopath and doesn’t really understand things like bravery, but he understands that other people do see the merit, enough to try to rationalize why he sees no value in it
