‘We’ll have a threesome’: Trump draws laughter with joke about eldest sons
US President Donald Trump has made an awkwardly worded joke during his visit to North Dakota. President Trump was delivering a speech when he made a joke about giving himself and his two eldest sons the Medal of Honour and made a bizarre gaffe. “As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I’m going to give one to myself, one to them, and we’ll have a threesome, ok?” President Trump said. “I’ll pick out one of the two, I’ll give them the Congressional Medal of Honour for something. For their genius at hunting, and I’ll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia or something, and we’ll have a third pair. No, I’m only kidding.”
