"Because, yes, Presley was a hero to most, but does hanging a medal onto one of the most decorated ghosts in popular culture change anything at all about his complicated legacy or how we think about his music today? No. Does it show us how our president continues to use his brazen lack of imagination as a cultural
cudgel? Yes."
Trump abuses every American icon -- from The Flag to Elvis Presiey -- to advance his own base, corrupt, and contemptible purposes.
