The American people now own that medal.

The next president should return it to Machado, who will probably be sitting in a Venezuelan prison, incarcerated by the Maduro regime goons Trump left in place because they are letting him steal Venezuelan oil. Trump does not give a shit about her, nor Venezuela.
