President Donald Trump delivered a shocking remark while speaking to a room of veterans at the National Medal of Honor Museum.
Trump visited the museum in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday and delivered a speech. After arriving late, Trump greeted a number of veterans and then delivered a speech, which was intended to "honor the extraordinary courage and distinguished service of these American heroes."
However, the president raised eyebrows with a comment about the Congressional Medal of Honor, which he said he would like to award himself with.
"The thing I really want is I want is, myself, a congressional Medal of Honor," Trump said, before a room of veterans. "And I've studied it. I'd give it to myself, I'd have no problem, but I'm not allowed to."
"Can you believe it? The one thing I'm not allowed to do," Trump said, earning a laugh from the crowd.

The man has no concept of earning anything.
I want to put my face on a coin.
You can't. Not while you are in office. Does it anyway.
I want a Nobel Peace Prize.
You can't. You haven't earned it. Groupie gives him hers.
I want the Kennedy Center named after me.
You can't. It is named for President Kennedy. Then I'll renovate it and put my name on it twice. Judge: You can't do that. Trump: Maybe I'll bulldoze it and build an amphitheater with my name on it.
I want a Congressional Medal of Honor.
You can't. You haven't served in the military. Maybe I'll just give myself one.
He wants all the prestigious honors, but won't do a thing to earn them. What an insulting human being.
