Overview

• In early-morning Truth Social posts Thursday, President Donald Trump questioned whether the controversy ends Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s career and called him disrespectful to the presidency.
• Just after 2 a.m., Trump reposted a year-old Hill article on Moore’s apology for listing a Bronze Star on a 2006 White House Fellowship application despite not receiving the award.
• Moore has said the inclusion was an honest mistake made at his deputy brigade commander’s urging, a version The New York Times reported was corroborated by Lt. Gen. Michael Fenzel.
• The online exchange follows days of friction as Trump threatened National Guard or federal deployments to Baltimore and floated pulling federal funds, which Moore publicly opposed.
• Moore, a combat veteran, mocked Trump’s physical ability and lack of military service in a post referring to “President Bone Spurs,” while inviting him to see Baltimore’s public-safety progress.
