Out of all the people in the world that could have been picked..................glorious.

Eighteen percent of U.S. adults nominated Trump when asked which man “living today in any part of the world” they admired most, while another 18 percent identified the most recent Democratic president.
The results of the poll, conducted Dec. 2-15, were split sharply along party lines, with 45 percent of Republicans selecting Trump for the honor and 41 percent of Democrats opting for Obama.
Trump captured only 2 percent Democratic and 10 percent independent support, while Obama garnered 3 percent support from GOP respondents and 12 percent from independents.
Last year, 13 percent of Americans chose Trump as the most admired man, and 14 percent picked him in 2017, the first year of his presidency. He placed second to Obama in both surveys.
Apart from the two presidents, no other man attained the votes of more than 2 percent of those questioned in the 2019 poll.
Rounding out the list of Americans’ top 10 most admired men are former President Jimmy Carter, technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Pope Francis, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, California Rep. Adam Schiff, the Dalai Lama and investor Warren Buffett.
Among Americans’ most admired women, former first lady Michelle Obama claimed the prize spot for the second year running, and was the only woman to achieve double-digit support.
The other top-ranking women include first lady Melania Trump, former talk show host Oprah Winfrey, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, climate activist Greta Thunberg, Queen Elizabeth II, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

Well done, you were way ahead of me on this one. The two most controversial Presidents are also the most admired! What a shock?
O boy, here we go again:

Without that meme, the Trumpsters here would lose half of what they have to say.
It's what progressives have been doing for the last 3 years....
Sometimes less is more. That little meme says a lot.
For what? I'm being honest. What is she doing that is so admirable? To me, any of these people:
make more sense as a selection. Even Melania would make more sense just because she's the current First Lady. However, as a general rule, I don't think being First Lady, by itself, makes anyone admirable.
This is satire, right?
It's like watching someone who said they love Rocky mountain oyster but didn't know what they were until they were half-way through the bowl try and choke down the rest of the bull testicles eking out a sickened looking smile as they say "No, I love testicles, of course I knew what they were...". They said they love Trump so no matter what he does now, they have to double down and they're going to try and put a smile on their faces and proclaim its everyone else who's crazy for not loving such a chewy. gristly bull testicle in their mouth.
I've never said I loved Trump or Rocky Mountain oysters for that matter. I have said that it was the impossible to stomach or swallow the platter full of bullshit that the Democrats were serving last election. So far it looks like they will not be serving anything more palatable this time either.
I think what gets me is one has been impeached by the House for delaying military aid to Ukraine and the other is still walking around after doing this.....
The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook
An ambitious U.S. task force targeting Hezbollah's billion-dollar criminal enterprise ran headlong into the White House's desire for a nuclear deal with Iran.
A global threat emerges
How Hezbollah turned to trafficking cocaine and laundering money through used cars to finance its expansion.
I n its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.
The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.
Over the next eight years, agents working out of a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks, with the help of 30 U.S. and foreign security agencies.
They followed cocaine shipments, some from Latin America to West Africa and on to Europe and the Middle East, and others through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. They tracked the river of dirty cash as it was laundered by, among other tactics, buying American used cars and shipping them to Africa. And with the help of some key cooperating witnesses, the agents traced the conspiracy, they believed, to the innermost circle of Hezbollah and its state sponsors in Iran.

The only contest Trump could win is a pie eating contest.
I guess you must have missed that he won a contest called the Presidential Election. He beat some loser named Clinton.
