Trump Awards Medal Of Honor To Soldier Who Rescued Hostages In Iraq | NBC News 

Congratulations to the soldier.

Thomas Paine is a amazing american.

Most of us have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the individuals who've earned this award. I admire these individuals, not just because of their heroic actions, but because they shoulder burdens that would be enough to break most people, yet they still carry on with life, and bring definition to the word 'resilience'.

Thank you to all military for their service. 🇺🇲

My eyes were blinded by the media and the left I now noticed this president was such a cool dude

Payne looks like a real world Captain America, the new uniform looks great, and he is a real world hero!

A real Hero

I love America from the bottom of my heart one day I want be like this hero for my country

Not just any us army soldier, see that Red patch on his left shoulder? Delta force, the us military’s most elite unit and arguably the most elite military unit in the world

He stayed for the prayer. 😯 Why did Biden leave early? 🤔

#hero 🇺🇸

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸CONGRATULATIONS Sergeant Major Thomas P. Payne!! Thank you for your Service! This is awesome!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Congratulations to the brave Soldier. Very deserving. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service. God bless you and your family. You are a real hero!

Trump is such a great humanitarian; his love for children is so sincere.🥰 I love our President!❤❤

Amazing service. I think that describing the actions of these heroes, their conditions and actions should be more publicized so that people understand what they actually do For example, when there is danger, people naturally respond by avoiding it or fighting These heroes don't have the choice of going the opposite direction. They have one choice because they serve their country and fellow service members and leadership. They are trained and are courageous and brave. Thank you.

Warriors fight even with bone spurs, Bunker Don.

Wow. Honored someone who deserves honor!

Best thing I've seen all year!

There is a great novel writer in Trump!! Instead Biden cannot even write or speak one sentence or minute...

The Good Shepherd willing to lay down his life for his sheep's.True representative of Jesus Christ . AMEN.

very emotional bravo

#USArmy #USInfantry #Ranger yes. Thank u that's what we do

Kurdish Peshmerga thank you for your guidance and leadership, we salute you and may American soil and its people be forever blessed and safe. Love and respect from Erbil, Kurdistan 🍻❤💛🤍💚🇺🇸🇺🇲

God bless you Payne. Thank you for your service. We love you.

Beautiful to see a Man receive a medal of honor knowing he truly is Brave and Honorable. His Family is Beautiful ♥️ also. Donald Trump is our Commander and Chief. He and his Beautiful wife Melania are a class act. I am Proud to call Donald Trump my President. He knows how to reveal the condition of your heart. All I have to say to you disrespectful Trump haters Is 4 more years! Or maybe Forever! ✌🕊♥️🇺🇸

Anyone who gives this video a thumbs down should move out of America ASAP.

The old ww2 uniform looks good, glad they brought it back

I love SGM Thomas Payne and our rightful president Donald Trump. Trump 2024

Matthew Williams, that’s my name? Lol I’m so honored now to share a name with someone so brave! 💯

Let’s just take a moment to realize trump said on his 14TH!!! DEPLOYMENT 14TH let that sink in

Came to see this after Biden abruptly left the ceremony even before it ended

President Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Did she say Sargent First Class?? Doesn't match what's stitched on his arm...

What’s there to dislike about this video. like I don’t understand, a guy is receiving a medal for saving lives.

No question that this guy deserves recognition. Oct 2015, Trump and the military were so proud that they took five years, but at least they timed it perfectly.

I had tears, it was beautiful. This man our president, he loves our military, he is amazing.This man did the unthinkable, unbelievable soldier! God bless!

Opposing evil comes at a great cost...............

Hoorah

Brave

God bless

I wonder how many people knew the patch on his Greens before searching up what unit he was in.

Great ever family.

" ... with us also is the First Lady, thank you darling... "

I want to see that movie, somebody must call ridley scott right now

5 year old wrote that essay .. trin to prove ... man women person “what were those last two things” ... pat said this .. pat said that.. sorry pat don’t mean discount your deeds ... ur a hero ... and i am not even an American

GOD bless President Trump and the Military :)

❤💪

Is it true that SGM Payne has a twin brother?

Hi didn't offer this hero a hand shake.... A pat on the shoulder?

Those pinks and greens 🤤

Ranger mhm definitely I wonder what the red arrow head patch with the sword is

Why is there no comments?

Trump 2020!

Does he go by his middle name?

Why they forcing this man to attend. He really rather be playing golf

17 deployments🤟🤟🤟

🎗🇺🇸🎗from🇩🇪

This made me cry... This man is well deserving of such an honor... Bless him and his family... I cried that the president didn't seem to give him the honor and respect that he was due... "Oh look at this... Quite a turn out for you..."... I just felt that a bit of decorum was missing... And not to mention well timed, on the part of the president. Seems like Trump was there for his own gains, as opposed to truly honoring this hero .

I thought it was Benson Wenefred🤔

I wonder if he tells them to leave thru the back door.

Delta Force

Jesus Christ liberals will do everything they can to nitpick at The President lmaooo

Why isn't bro at attention or parade rest 😕, just wondering

Congratulations to the soldiers. Too bad it’s being used as another political stunt. I question the timing.

delta force

Victory Trump!

Congratulations to the recipient,Outstanding! As to that slob next to you....I prefer to focus on your bravery and pretend he is not there.

Is this supposed to make everyone forget about all the terrible things he said about military service members? If so, it's not working.

Goes hand in hand with his remarks about soldiers. Honoring those that rescued "losers and suckers."

Why is Trump always so distracted. He wonders off in the middle of speaking. Every other name...Thank you very much! Stick to the darn script, it's not that difficult.

Trump did this just try to be a good guy and to save his face.

5 time draft dodger who calls fallen soldiers suckers and losers giving the medal of honor to those who deserve it 👎😷 they deserve so much better!! 😡

He can't even keep his eyes closed long enough for prayer notice he claps late ...6yrs old a pen...it's this about the soldier? OMG he can't read...he doesn't even know anything about the soldier...THIS is soooo sad..instead of watching Fox he should've read about the soldier...he was tired of reading...

Soldier mispelled....

A Thank you WARRIOR OF OUR COUNTRY SGT PAYNE BUT I APOLOGIZE AS A AMERICAN, WIFE, MOTHER, SISTER, DAUGHTER OF SOLDIERS WHO HAS SERVED/SERVES, WHO FOUGHT FOUR DIFFERENT WARS FOR THIS COUNTRY WE KNOW AS AMERICA..... MY APOLOGY IS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS INVOLVED IN YOUR RECOGNITION GOD BLESS YOU SIR ...

Look at his face he would be golfing if he could be. The military are just ruining his day

What F.. Not everyone is is wearing a mask

Pi o

Trump: "By the way, your friend who died at the mission is a loser".

Really! A “sucker” AND a “loser?”

Lol trump was all your extrapolation got you when this video was done, I feel bad for you. I cant really imagine what a life would be like without the ability to critically think. you guys are brave.

Too bad Trump already forgot who this guy is smh he asked that reporter is he still alive 🤦‍♂️😂

God says your word means alot mr. President let's see what your word mean you have the authority to put out an executive stimulus check for the American people and it can be generous you have the power to do that God is watching you God is really watching you you are blessed by God he can give to you you can also take it away mr. President from you God Is Watching You

Shameful having Trump conduct this ceremony with what everyone knows now how he feels about service and sacrifice to the country.

👎🏻👎🏻😂🤪

Cleanup on aisle BS!

0:59 He couldn’t even clap for the man, he just looked at the crowd and envied his applause. Dude is horrible

Wow, he gave the kid a pen, what a wonderful man. If I was that brave soldier, I would have declined the medal as long as it was being presented by Trump and shoved that pen where the sun don't shine. Another photo op and election ploy by Trump,too little ,too late, not to mention totally hypocritical.

Respect to Sgt. Major Payne , and shame on you Trump for using this a a political stunt . Frankly this comes as no surprise. Show Trump the door in November !

Feels awkward to have this POTUS honor a hero after denigrating our troops.

Trumps' cynicism is never ending.

respect for our armed forces!! BUT NOT FOR THE COMMANDER AND THIEF! facking reality TV star, I want a REAL PRESIDENT!

Salute you, but it makes me throw up that trump even touched that medal.🤮

God bless our police officers TRUMP AGAIN

So sorry that this brave soldier has to recieve his well deserved award from an undeserving draft-dodger who believes soldiers are 'suckers' and 'losers'.
