Trump must have wondered the same thing mid ceremony.

heres trumps explanation:
"No one has done more to promote wrestling in America than Dan Gable. He's an athletic giant who conquered one of the most difficult and ancient sports in the world," Trump said during the ceremony. "He's the greatest wrestler, probably, ever. We've never had anybody like him. He's made our country very proud. And he's a true GOAT. You know what GOAT is? GOAT? Greatest Of All Time."
he also said this:
During the ceremony, Trump also bragged about being "2-0" in his number of election wins, despite losing the 2020 presidential race.
Describing Gable's collegiate record, Trump said: "He won 117 consecutive matches and lost only one. Well, you know, in politics, I won two, so I'm 2-0, and that's pretty good, too. But we'll see how that turns out."
As a wrestler, Gable compiled a 117-1 record while at Iowa State University, was a two-time NCAA wrestling champion, and earned a gold medal at the 1972 Olympics, representing the United States.
As a coach at the University of Iowa, Gable's teams won 15 NCAA national team titles, and 12 of the athletes he coached went onto become Olympians. He also coached five Olympic Games.
Trump has held two other Medal of Freedom ceremonies at the White House since the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States.
Last week, Trump gave the award to football coach Lou Holtz. And earlier this summer, the President awarded the medal to former Olympic runner Jim Ryun.
