Trump again comes up short for Gallup’s ‘Most Admired’ honor
When Americans are given a choice, Donald Trump has a knack for coming in second place – and not just in the presidential popular vote. Gallup reported today on which national figures Americans admire most:
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
[F]ormer President Barack Obama was the winner among men for the 11th consecutive year, including one year as president-elect, eight as president and two as former president. President Donald Trump ranks second for the fourth year in a row.
Gallup’s annual survey, conducted Dec. 3-12 this year, asks Americans, in an open-ended question, to name the man and woman living anywhere in the world today whom they admire most. Gallup first asked the question in 1946 and has done so every year since, except 1976.
Looking back at our coverage from one year ago today, in the 2017 survey, Barack Obama was named by 17% of the poll’s respondents, and Trump was second with 14%. This year, Gallup reports that Obama came out on top with 19%, followed by Trump with 13%.

So Obama is even MORE admired and Trump even LESS. Who is surprised?
Obama has now been voted the nation’s most admired man 10 times, which is second only to Dwight Eisenhower, who received the distinction 12 times. Indeed, Obama is only the second former president to receive the honor, following Eisenhower’s titles in the late 1960s.
That piece of shit rump comes up short in every possible aspect of humanity.
Wow Trump blew the doors off Bernie and Biden. Even when you combine their scores they don’t come close to Trump. Bento didn’t even make the list. Not looking good for the Dems.
LOL, good one Dean.
In checking and double checking I didn't see any libertarians on the list...Another election cycle with less than 2% of the vote.
Would you like some mustard for that pretzel?
More like...Do you want some cheese with that whine?
More like I see the keg as half full where the negative Nancies see it half empty.
Actually, it looks more like you're seeing a keg where none exists.
Exactly!
And perhaps his best performance was when he really put Pelosi in her place-- to the point where she was actually speechless-- notice how he shut her up completely!!!
That is the problem. She and Sketchy Schumer constantly complained they did not want to have he meeting in front of the media, but every time they opened their mouths, they, especially Chucky, turned to face the cameras to get their point to the media and not to Trump.
Scared dogs don't look their owners in the eyes.
Since Trump is incapable of learning or being civil, Playing to the media is the only option.
If Trump had even half a brain he would be very scared of what's coming down the track at him.
At this meeting Pelosi and Schumer are playing a very intricate chess move on Trump, while Trump is still trying to figure out the rules to tiddlywinks.
??????
You know we can see the video too right?
When Pelosi told Trump not to characterize her strength as House Democratic leader, she looked right at him.
Confused again? Not surprised
So? That was once...maybe. Every time shifty Chucky opened his mouth he turned around and looked at the media, then complained the media was there.
Again, false. Why lie about a event that everyone can see for themselves?
BTFW, I note that you have NO ISSUE with Trump looked at the media when he talked. Why is that?
Nope...you're wrong.
BTFW....He called them into the office. He wanted them there.
Nope...you're wrong.
Of course. Even the Great Trump needs foils occasionally, if for nothing else but to mix things up. Hey, at least they got a word in edgewise. Did you see his 'Cabinet meeting' the other day? It was a dumpster fire...
So then you know why he called the media into the Oval Office....and no, I did not see any cabinet meeting. I do not live in front of the tv hoping, just hoping, the President will say something I can be offended by.
Obviously, some do...
Yes, do you?
Gee, Trump called the media into the Cabinet room for a reason too bugsy. He must have wanted you to see his performance and to see his Cabinet members grovel.
This is pretty funny actually. Trump has been relentlessly attacked/mocked/criticized for more than 2 years by corporate media, Hollywood, Late Night TV and the DC establishment......and he is still the second most admired man in the US.
Obama, no matter what I think of his politics, is a great example of loving husband and father and an extraordinary gifted orator......Trump is none of that and still manages to get runner up.
