@cspanofficial: President Trump joked Wednesday about awarding himself and one of his sons the Medal of Honor so they could become the third father-son pair to receive the military's highest decoration. "As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think, 'I'm going to give one to myself and one to them.' We'll have a threesome. I'll pick out one of the two," he said while delivering remarks at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota. President Theodore Roosevelt and his eldest son, Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., were the first father-son pair to receive the award, followed by Arthur MacArthur and his son, Gen. Douglas MacArthur. "I'll give them the Congressional Medal of Honor for something, for their genius at hunting," President Trump continued. "I'll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia, or something. We'll have a third pair. No, I'm only kidding. But I have seriously thought about — now, this is dangerous to say because the fake news is up there all over the place. And when I joke, I always — I learned earlier, don't be sarcastic in politics." #trump #medalofhonor #theodoreroosevelt #cspan
