Donald Trump will give Bill Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom

[Bucky]

Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who openly supported the election of Donald Trump in 2016, will be involved in one of the 45th president’s final official acts — if he’s still in office by then.

On Thursday, Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

The Patriots declined comment on the matter to Politco.com, and in theory there’s a chance that Belichick will politely decline the honor. Some will say that he should, given the events of the past several days and the torrent of controversy that seems to be strengthening not subsiding. Politicians from both sides of the aisle have called on Trump to resign after his incitement of last week’s insurrection (if you don’t think it was an insurrection, look up the term), and the House of Representatives plans to consider a fresh batch of Articles of Impeachment this week.

Hopefully, Bill Belichick does the right thing and refuses it. At this point, a Presidential Medal of Freedom from that guy should be considered a Medal of Dishonor.

I respect a comment like that coming from a Pats fan. And I agree.

Another freind of Trump's. The Swedish golfer Annika Sörenstam got the ”Presidential Medal of Freedom” the day after the riots. She is also a freind of Trump's since before his presidency.

What will these medals be worth in the future? Except off course to confirm the receivers association with the most controversial president in the US of al times.

So, you are going to shit on one of the nicest and best LPGA golfers to ever to pick up a golf club?

Annika is a class act, and she turned on millions of young girls to take up golf.

Good for Belichick.

He did the Patriots proud by refusing a medal from the Anti-Patriot himself (the Amber Authoritarian)
