The most telling thing in this interview, is when Trump was asked "did Rush know he would be awarded the medal in advance"?

Trump - "I did tell him beforehand, because we didn't have the power of not doing it, because he was very sick at the time in a hospital in Boston, and I didn't want to do the surprise thing on him as it was a big deal for him to travel to Washington..."

I ask you... how many "politicians" would have lied and said "oh we totally surprised him, he had no idea"

Trump didn't. He told the truth. .
