President Donald Trump has come under fire from liberals, who are accusing him of racism for honoring Elvis Presley with a Medal of Freedom Award.
President Trump is awarding the Presidential honor to seven Americans on Friday, but it's his inclusion of the late rock star that has (un)surprisingly drawn irk from the left.

Stupid. What does Elvis receiving a posthumous award have to do with racism? The word will be meaningless soon. It is just used for crybabies to get their way.

The real racism was awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama.

If awarding a Medal of Freedom to Elvis makes Pres. Trump a racist, then awarding one to Miriam Adelson must make him an antisemite. It’s hard to keep score . . .

Trump should have another ceremony filled with supporters and award himself a metal.

Rediculous Bullshit.

Elvis honorably fought for this country while the MUSLIM Mohammad Ali sat on his duff and refused.

Plastcilla Presley couldnt be bothered to attend and accept the Medal.
That might tarnish her good reputation with her Rat-celeb buddies.

According to Fox News, The Washington Posts pop culture critic Chris Richards called Trumps move a little nod to the good old days, back when black visionaries could invent rock-and-roll, but only a white man could become the king." A guess they forgot about "Little Richard" who was the first KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. If one looks at the many blacks that performed with Elvis and were his friends how in the hell can these fools call Elvis a racist.

Well...a bit late on responding but this certainly proves Trump understands the medal of Freedom and what it stands for.... Obama 'used' it as a personal reward to his Hollywood and political left arm....
