But an award bestowed nearly five years ago by Donald Trump - just weeks before the President and Commander-in-Chief concluded his first term in office and a year into the ‘pandemic’ - has been overlooked in much of the media reporting.
On December 21st 2020, the then-Prime Minister of Australia was the recipient of a prestigious United States military decoration when an outgoing President Trump awarded him the Legion of Merit.

The award was presented by the US national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, on Monday evening Washington time, and was accepted by Australia's ambassador to the US Arthur Sinodinos on behalf of Mr Morrison.
