Donald Trump made several missteps at the award of the freedom medal to the wrestler Dan Gable.
Among other things, none of those present wore a mask.
Former wrestler and Olympic gold winner Dan Gable received the
Medal of Freedom
in the Oval Office
The medal is one of the two highest civil awards in the
United States
The award caused
laughter
and
outrage
Washington - Actually, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
ceremony should
n't be an event that makes such headlines.
But
Donald Trump made
a gross mistake
in the Oval Office when presenting the medal to former wrestler
Dan Gable
.

Donald Trump ignores honored athletes - instead comments about the 2020 US election
In his
speech
to
Gable
,
Trump left
nothing out.
He also commented on the
US election
and his supposed victory: “He won 117 fights and lost only one.
Well, in politics, I've won two fights.
And that's pretty good too.
But we'll see how it turns out. ”Instead of posing for the cameras after his speech with athletes,
Trump
left
the room without a word and left a puzzled-looking Dan Gable
alone in front of the press cameras
.
Today @realDonaldTrump wandered out of his own office and left Medal of Freedom recipient, Dan Gable, standing there with no clue what to do.
"More Presidential than anyone in history."

Trump appointment without a mask - although the Oval Office was full of people
It was also noticed that in the Oval Office - although it was filled with journalists and the athlete's family including his 13 children - none of those present wore a mask.
In view of the current infection rate in the
USA
, the behavior of the US President is irritating.
The
corona
virus is currently spreading rapidly in the USA.
With another increase of 215,586 infections in one day, the
US
is still the most
coronavirus-
affected country in the world.
In addition, there is
another
corona case
with Trump's lawyer
Rudy Giuliani
in the direct vicinity of the president.
In addition, one would think that the
president would
have learned from his
past
experience with the
coronavirus
.
After
Donald Trump became
infected with the corona virus in October, it emerged that the president had participated in events on several occasions where the participants did not wear masks and did not pay attention to the distances.
Research by the
New York Times
showed that
eleven people in attendance were
infected
with the
coronavirus
at an event in the
rose garden of the White House
.
