President Trump plans to award him New England Patriots Medal of Freedom coach Bill Belichick this week in a bid to return to normalcy after the US Chapter riots and is demanding his second removal, according to a report on Sunday.
With only a few days left in the oval office, Trump will make presidential power flexible at the last minute, honoring the winning brain of the Super Bowl – and other long-term supporters – with the highest civilian honor, according to Politico.com
Trump also plans to award Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) the award on Monday – the same day Democrats are expected to file indictments against him.
On Tuesday, Trump will visit a section of the U.S. border wall in Alamo, Texas, less than a week after five people were killed during the right-wing siege of the U.S. Chapter.
And on Thursday, he will award Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which historically honors people for “security or national interests of the United States, world peace, culture, or other significant public or private efforts.”
The events have been going on for a long time, a Trump agent said.
In 2016, Trump boasted that Belichick had written him a letter congratulating him on “an extraordinary campaign.”
The Patriots did not immediately respond to Politico’s request for comment.
