Trump goes from 'great genetics' to 'great blood' while praising Medal of Honor chair

DALLAS, TEXAS: President Donald Trump, on Thursday, September 10, delivered an unusual compliment while visiting the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, moving from a remark about “great genetics” to an unexpected declaration that he is “a big blood person.”

The comment came during Trump’s visit to the museum as part of the two-day GOP convention in Dallas, where he met Medal of Honor recipients and spoke about the nation’s highest military honor.

Trump's unusual praise for Medal of Honor chair

Trump began by thanking the chair of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, whom he described as a widely respected woman.

“She’s got great genetics, I have to tell you. Great genetics,” Trump then said.

He immediately followed it with another observation: “She’s got great blood. I’m a big blood person. I believe in blood.”

Trump then doubled down on the compliment, telling the woman he was addressing: “And you don’t get better than those two. You don’t get better than those two, Charlotte.”

The reference appeared to be to Charlotte Jones, the Dallas business executive who serves as chairman of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.

Jones is also the chief brand officer and co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

She has spent roughly three decades overseeing the team’s brand and the business operations, strategies and applications surrounding how the Cowboys are presented to fans around the world.

Trump jokes about Medal of Honor

Trump also turned the spotlight on himself during his remarks, joking that political figures are no longer allowed to be sarcastic or simply have fun without their comments becoming headlines and wondered if he could have a Medal of Honor too.

“One thing in the world of politics, you can't be sarcastic. You can't have any fun. You can't do anything that you think is cute because it- tonight, the story will be that Donald Trump wants a Congressional Medal of Honor for himself,” Trump said.

He then added: “I'm only kidding. Actually, I'm not kidding, I would like that.”

Separately, the president also greeted Captain Royce Williams, the retired US Navy aviator and Medal of Honor recipient known for a remarkable Korean War dogfight in 1952, when he fought seven Soviet pilots alone.

Trump’s museum visit also featured a major step involving Medal of Honor recipients and their legacy.

The president signed legislation creating a monument to Medal of Honor recipients at the National Mall in Washington, DC.

The measure is named the Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act, honoring Hershel “Woody” Williams, described as the last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient.
