Women: Trump wants to give you a Medal of Motherhood upon the birth of your SIXTH child...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fertility-president-trump-demanded-baby-144401010.html

In the early days of his second term, President Donald Trump has worked to crack the code on America’s fertility drop and reverse falling birth rates. Describing himself as the “fertilization president,” the pronatalist Trump has reportedly floated everything from doling out $5,000 checks to mothers after delivery, to awarding a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with at least six children, to lowering the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) drugs.

What sorts of mothers earn these medals I wonder?! Obviously they detest large immigrant families…No doubt Stephen miller is modeling this on the infamous mothers medal Hitler gave to “Aryan” women who had produced large families — noble youth to serve the fuhrer…

For his collection.

And even if they have one baby annually, starting now, what makes him (and them) think he's going to be around to give it to them?

before birth. No medicare, medicaid, reduced-cost insurance for all your little brats.

And that medal only goes if you are not a minority or immigrant or anything but a right-wing "Christian" MAGAt.

And also, that $5k check won't even begin to cover the hospital bill. Fuck Trump.

...in two classes: the Second Class medal was for five children, the First Class for six.

After that came the Order of Maternal Glory for seven, eight or nine children, and Mother Heroine for at least 10.
