No, it can either be through the Chain of Command within 3 years of the incident (or 5, I forgot which one) or through Congress referrial from the House Armed Services Committee if the action is over 3 or 5 years old. He can't award himself a Medal of Honor

He can award himself anything civilian, from the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the 2028 LA Olympics; it's quite easy actually, he just needs to ask ICE to deport all other competitors.......

I could imagine him creating a new Trump award, and give it himself and declaring it better than Medal of Honor or Nobel Peace Prize.

Well, that might have been harder to do now as GOP is poised to lose at least the House, Trump is going to need the house to start anything better than Nobel Peace Prize.........

If Republicans lose both house and senate, will anything change for good? and I mean like will there be more checks and balances over Trump, or he can just veto it and keep doing whatever he wants?

You are right, Trump when he first come down from the elavator he thought he would run for the presidential race with little to no hope to win, hence he just keep saying wildest things on TV, cartering to racist and Xenophobic tropes, 4chan conspiracy theories, for him it was just some fun time, i doubt he even thought that he will become the republican primary in 2016, and Hilary's primary doesn't help with the situation either and rest is history.

Trump is populatist maybe but he is definitely at this point become a cult leader, his supporters which are very vocal in various tv shows and street interviews gives very cult like vibes, you can ask 5 of his supporters regarding one issue and you will get 5 different justifications, everything he does is already justified even if it goes against the values these republican trying to build their politics on. From Releasing Epstien files to mocking Islam over the treatment of women, when Trump can go around call women names like Fat, Ugly, miss piggy and Grab them by the &ussy, he can mock disable people, veterns, deny his loss in 2020 election, claims fraud without a single shread of evidence but his supporters don't care, Trump to me is not just a bad leader its just the man has not a single decent bone in his body, he is just outright pathetic low class failed businessman with a potty mouth, hence he decided to run as republicans he knows that how dumb the avergae republican voter is, in his own words... he said i can shot a guy in the middle of street and his people will support him, he also said i love the poorly educated, which is very evident from his supporters, he also said that he can said the dumbest thing and yet his crown will cheer him and they even did (facepalm moment).

It is still a mystery to me that how come a Country like United states of Fcuking America, not one but twice elected this cheap, incoherent potty mouth indecent human being, it still boggles my mind to this day, i can expect such leadership in some 3rd world country but from America? Still unbelieveable.

Absolutely correct! When he ran the first time, virtually no one especially himself thought he would win.

So he basically said the craziest things on TV and got lots of Free earned media.

If the Democrats gain both houses of Congress, there will be major oversight. Oversight the Congress is supposed to use, but instead, they almost completely seeded their authority to Trump.

And let's be realistic here, a lot of people are not actually voting for what Democrats can do, but against Trump.
No miracles overnight.

I won't be surprised if at some point we find out that he ran for president only to give his dying empire and failed business endeavours some relevancy, that would be the biggest joke in the American political history.

Just came back from voting. I did my part

Reason i ask this because i was watching a talk show, people were talking about as Trump can still veto things, and TBH i don't have high expectation from Democrats either when they have leaders like schumer and Hakeem jefferies, both are basically spineless leaders. So if the Democrats even after winning both houses still unable to stand against the Trump administration on prime issues, than it will be a big dud which will cost them dearly in 2028 Presidential election, but here is something i will say, " No matter how much of a stupid thing a Democrat will do, you will always find a Repulican who will out-do him/her "
