Lean a little to your right please Mr. Pence

The Medal of Honor as a prop

This the annoys the ever loving crap out of me.  Photo ops of our beloved fearless leader signing one of his endless Presidential Executive Orders have become the norm.  That alone is annoying as Trump railed against Executive Orders during the campaign.  But what is worse is that he uses the Medal of Honor as a backdrop and the photo ops are staged in such a way that "Valor" is usually clearly visible as in the picture above.

I find this as tasteless as taking a selfie in front of an altar or in front of a coffin.  I'm sure it happens but it remains a monument to poor taste as does using the Medal of Honor as a set dressing.

You have a desk. I suggest you use it.
