GOP Lawmakers Push Trump for Congressional Medal

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is leading a handful of GOP colleagues in a push to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Donald Trump, Politico reports.

Requires 2/3rds of both the House and the Senate to sponsor the bill before it can even be considered by the respective committees in the House and Senate.

Its very literally impossible.

The sycophants in Congress going out of their way to pander to their cult leader's ego. These are seriously strange times.

They really have no desire to govern and work for the benefit of their constituents. Chaos is their goal.
