What a shame for the previous owners of the award. Its now become worthless. Paperweights anyone?

I mean he already made the medal worthless during his first term. So who cares at this point? It doesn't do anything for the recipient (assuming they're alive) other than give clout, but the clout has been stripped, so it's really just a useless piece of metal.

I've got one. So does my dog. Who cares?

Can these be revoked later?

We cannot let these Nazis sully shit like this

Next President needs to abolish this medal, it's tainted with Nazi.
