He says it, he says his reasoning for the joke. His original quote:

“It’s the equivalent of the congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said of the civilian Medal of Freedom. “But the civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone that gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.”

And he clarifies
Quote:

“When I say better, I would rather, in a certain way, get it, because people,they get the congressional Medal of Honor, which I’ve given to many, are often horribly wounded or dead,” he said “They’re often dead. They get it posthumously.

That was his joke….he may backtrack a bit a now.
But the joke was …….you’re better off getting the presidential medal of honour as if you’re getting the military medal of honour, you’re most likely dead, or FUBAR.
Nothing you have posted changes the original context.
