Here comes an orange meltdown: Internet cheers as Obama beats Trump for Most Admired Man in

America'



Gallup on Wednesday released the results of its annual poll to determine the most admired man and woman in America — and former President Barack Obama won the title for the tenth straight year.

Even though Obama has been out of office for nearly a year now, he still bested current President Donald Trump by three percentage points in Gallup’s poll. Additionally, former Trump rival Hillary Clinton was once again named the most admired woman in America for the sixteenth straight year.

That is scary.

Also - some interesting tidbits:

A quarter of Americans cannot name a man or a woman they admire most. Nine percent name a relative or friend as the most admired man, and 13% do so for the most admired woman.

Though I bet Hillary would win for most reviled woman (even though she won most admired).

These polls are kind of silly, I think, to be honest.

Suck it, chumpy. There's a good reason that Obama is more admired than your orange ass.

I hope this eats a bigger whole where his conscience should be.
