What's the over/under on when a bona fide Medal of Honor recipient gives Trump his/her Medal of Honor?

Well, he's made much the same deal Obama did (minus all the dead people, obviously), so he surely deserves one.

He could probably pick it up on her behalf.

This one appears to be workshopping the full autodecoration package: operation, citation, solemn nod, then the little pin on his own lapel. A magnificent savings measure, really. Why pay for military prestige when you can simply invoice reality?
