Celebrating Liz Cheney with Presidential Award for Outstanding Citizenship, then using the opportunity of Jimmy Carter’s death to keep flags flying at half-mast during Trump’s inauguration and then awarding Hillary Clinton and George Soros with Presidential Medals of Freedom, is just more antagonism in a long-planned strategy of provocation against those who elected President Trump.

The targets of this psyche-poking are the American people. The full list of awardees includes Hillary Clinton, George Soros, José Andrés, Bono, Ashton Baldwin Carter, Michael J. Fox, Tim Gill, Jane Goodall, Fannie Lou Hamer, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, Ralph Lauren, Lionel Messi, Bill Nye, George W. Romney, David M. Rubenstein, George Stevens, Jr., Denzel Washington and Anna Wintour.
