Donald Trump Blasted After Boasting About Receiving Non-Existent 'Bay of Pigs' Award
President Donald Trump boasted about receiving the 'Bay of Pigs Award,' which does not exist. [...]
The Trump campaign says the proof that Trump got the (nonexistent) Bay of Pigs Award is that, when he spoke to the Bay of Pigs vets’ association upon accepting their endorsement, they gave him a painting of their brigade shield. https://t.co/TuPQFQ1ylW

Trump's tweet came moments before the president was scheduled to take the stage for his first indoor rally since June 20, when he spoke in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Trump will speak to supporters at a manufacturing business in Henderson, Nevada, despite concerns about spreading the coronavirus. Henderson officials said gatherings of over 50 people are still prohibited, reports USA Today. Before the Tulsa rally, Secret Service agents and campaign staffers tested positive for the coronavirus and a spike in cases followed the event. Herman Cain, one of Trump's most public supporters, died from the coronavirus after attending the event.
