President Trump considered awarding himself the Medal of Honor during the U.S. war against Iran, according to White House insiders. This consideration arose in early April following the downing of a U.S. fighter jet over Iran, a situation that reportedly caused Trump to panic and express frustration over international support and rising gas prices. The report from The Wall Street Journal also noted Trump's focus on the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis and his sometimes erratic behavior amid the military crisis.
