Former President Trump announced that he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City. This recognition comes shortly after Giuliani experienced a serious car crash. Trump described Giuliani as a "great American patriot" and emphasized his commitment to honor Giuliani with the highest civilian award in the United States. The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing outrage and mockery over the award being granted to a figure who has faced significant controversy in recent years.
