As if Donald Trump’s presidential re-election wasn’t embarrassing enough for Americans, Fox News is now honoring him with a “Patriot of the Year” award.

The announcement seems like it should be satire, but unfortunately, it’s true. The president-elect has frequently tried to capitalize on the concept of patriotism, calling his loyalists “true patriots” and announcing the future belongs to patriots. Of course, MAGA has also embraced this label and insisted that they, too, are “patriots.” However, most people recognize that Trump is the farthest thing one could be from a patriot. He has never stood for or been willing to defend and sacrifice for his country. He used his wealth and influence to dodge the draft five times to avoid serving his country. Despite never serving, he showed no hesitation in mocking prisoners of war and calling fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” Then, he became president to increase his own wealth and power.
