During a visit to North Dakota for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library dedication ceremony, President Trump made an informal remark about awarding Congressional Medals of Honor. Trump quipped that he would give medals to himself and his two sons, playfully calling the three awards a 'threesome.' He mentioned that his teleprompter was malfunctioning during the event.

The comment appears to have been wordplay referring to the number of medals rather than any other implication, though Trump's impromptu remarks have frequently attracted varying media interpretations throughout his public career.
