During the opening ceremony of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, President Donald Trump drew laughter after joking about the Congressional Medal of Honor while acknowledging his sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Referring to the prestigious military decoration, Trump said, "I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I'm going to give one to myself, one to them, and we'll have a threesome." He continued, "I'll pick out one of the two and give them the Congressional Medal of Honor for something, for their genius at hunting and I'll get one for taking on 'Russia, Russia, Russia' or something." Earlier in the day, Trump had also joked, "I want to give one to myself, but they tell me and I'm not allowed to. What have I done … to deserve it and they couldn't think of anything, so I'm not happy with them today." The remarks were made during events celebrating the legacy of President Theodore Roosevelt, one of the few presidents associated with the Medal of Honor.

00:00They're the only father and son pair to receive our nation's highest military award for courage above and beyond the
00:11call of duty.
00:12Now, as I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I'm going to give one to myself, one
00:17to them, and we'll have a threesome, okay?
00:20I'll pick out one of the two.
00:23I'll give them the Congressional Medal of Honor for something.
00:28For their genius at hunting.
00:30And I'll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia, or something.
00:37And we'll have a third pair.
00:39No, I'm only kidding.
00:40But I have seriously thought about, now this is dangerous to say because the fake news is up there all
00:45over the place.
00:46And when I joke, I always, I learned earlier, don't be sarcastic in politics.
00:51But I actually said a few times that I've seriously thought of giving myself the Congressional Medal of Honor.
00:59Now, everyone knows I'm doing it with a chuckle.
01:02But then they report, he wants to give himself the Congressional.
01:07So I don't say that anymore.
01:08It's very dangerous to say.
