President Donald Trump is using an event honoring Congressional of Medal Honor winners - the nation's highest military honor - to praise their strength courage while joking it shows his own ego 'is not that big.'
'The supreme symbol of American courage,' Trump said, praising the 33 Medal of Honor recipients in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday evening.
'It is the ultimate tribute to American valor. You are the strongest, the bravest and the finest among us. See? My ego's not that big.'

He added: 'I admit it!' as people in the room laughed and applauded.
Trump often praises himself as a 'very stable genius' and touts his ability to make amazing deals.
In January, he defended his mental fitness for office, calling himself a 'very stable genius' and 'like, really smart.'
'Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,' Trump tweeted after the release of 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,' by author Michael Wolff. The book contained several explosive claims, including doubts among Trump's senior aides about his mental fitness for office.
During the 2016 campaign, Trump released a letter from his doctor saying he'd be the 'healthiest individual' to ever serve as president.
Questions were raised about the lack of medical details offered about the 70 year old.
In July he tweeted 'Wow, highest Poll Numbers in the history of the Republican Party. That includes Honest Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.'
Polling hadn't been invented when Abraham Lincoln was president and historians typically rank Lincoln as the best president in history.
Just this week Trump was criticized for claiming the U.S. response in Puerto Rico after it was devastated by Hurricane Maria was an 'unsung success.'
Trump made the remark on Tuesday after being asked what lessons he had learned from the destruction caused by Hurricane Maria.
He said: 'The job that FEMA and law enforcement and everybody did, working along with the governor in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous.
'I think that Puerto Rico was an incredible, unsung success. Texas we have been given A-pluses for. Florida we've been given A-pluses for.
Puerto Rico's death toll was 2,975 in the storm's wake. The island was without power for 11 months.

There have been 77 recipients of the medal in U.S. history.
'We are loving our veterans, I think honestly, even more than before. We respect them so much. There is a whole different spirit over our country. We respect our veterans more than we have ever respected our veterans,' he said. 'We are working so hard on that.'
And while he used the occasion to praise them, he also took a moment to discuss Hurricane Florence, which is expected to make landfall Thursday.
'Residents in the path of these storms should comply with all evacuation orders and other emergency instructions. Protection of life is the absolute highest priority, and that is what we are doing,' he said.

‘The supreme symbol of American courage,’...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
