The name of anyone given that medal by TFG should have an asterisk by it.

There have always been dubious recipients of the medal. I believe Henry Kissinger got one. Ellen DeGeneres got one (likely for bringing LGBTQ issues to the forefront of society, before her fall from grace).
The short answer is that Jordan got one because the president at the time was a complete asshole and he wanted to give the medal to another complete asshole.
Trump's recipients are a who's who of assholes, the medal was almost devalued because of some of the people that Trump chose to give it to.

(3,807 posts)who successfully evade consequences for their sexual transgressions. Limbaughs viagra fueled pedo trip, drumphs litany of accusations of sexual impropriety, and Gyms ability to focus on his own selfish ambition while turning a blind eye to serial shower rape. Distinguished recipients and master of ceremonies.
