Adolf Hitler awarded the War Merit Cross to Adolf Eichmann, architect of the Holocaust. Just saying, awards don't mean sh** if the person awarding them is a fascist. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Trump awards these honours as a show of defiance. He is rewarding loyalty, not virtue.

Danish writer P.A. Heiberg wrote this in 1790. A few years later the sovereign king exiled him - he never saw Denmark again but spent his remaining 42 years in Paris.
