Trump Tells Purple Heart Recipients: 'It Wasn't That Easy for Me Either'

Donald Trump couldn’t resist praising himself at a Purple Heart Day ceremony, reminding the crowd that the minor injuries he suffered during last year’s assassination attempt weren’t “easy” for him either.

The president hosted nearly 100 people who have been awarded the Purple Heart at a ceremony in the White House on Thursday. The medal is awarded to service members who are wounded or killed in action against an enemy.

Three of the attendees handed Trump their own medals after a gunman tried to kill the then-presidential candidate at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024.

and he's too crass and clueless to realize how profoundly insulting it was to compare the scratch on his ear (assuming it even happened) to soldiers' war injuries.
