With the support of many House Republicans, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has sponsored a measure requesting that Congress bestow the Congressional Gold Medal on former President Donald Trump.
The bill language stated that they would award the medal “in appreciation of his remarkable leadership and devotion to developing America’s diplomatic ties throughout his administration.”
Luna told Fox News Digital, “President Trump’s daring leadership rebuilt America as a recognized and appreciated worldwide force.” “It is time we honored a president who stood up for his nation and used daring diplomacy to bring about world peace. President Donald Trump definitely made America and the globe a safer place, despite the liberal media’s attempts to instill fear. I am submitting this legislation because it is one of our responsibilities as members of Congress to acknowledge people who have made important contributions to our country.
The measure also uses Trump’s summit with Kim Jong Un of North Korea, his role in the establishment of the Abraham Accords, and other accomplishments in international affairs to support Trump’s eligibility for the gold medal.
According to Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), who supported the proposal, “Donald J. Trump’s statesmanship and strong presidential leadership have sparked fervor and love of nation in millions of Americans.”
He declared, “It would be irresponsible for Congress to ignore him.” As he put peace via strength rather than never-ending international conflicts first, the Trump presidency brought about peace on a global scale. It is impossible to overstate Trump’s contributions to American history and his unwavering support of the American way of life. I am honored to stand with my colleagues in recognizing President Donald J. Trump for his extraordinary leadership and commitment to the United States.
Supporters of the proposal were Reps. Mike Waltz (R-FL), Bob Good (R-VA), Randy Weber (R-TX), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Should Trump get the medal, he would be the first president to do so since Ronald Reagan and his spouse in 2000. The Republican-controlled House might approve the plan, but the Democratic-majority Senate is more likely to hold it up.
