The sitting U.S. president has been named the pollster’s most-admired man in 60 out of 74 years, including all eight years of Obama’s presidency and every year of George W. Bush’s presidency except for 2008. Trump had finished second to Obama in 2017 and 2018.
The 2020 rankings are the 10th time Trump has ranked among the top 10. Before entering the political sphere, he made the list in 1988, 1989, 1990 and 2011. Biden made only his second appearance in the top 10 after making the list in 2018.
Among Republicans surveyed, 48 percent of respondents named Trump as their most admired man. No other public figure got more than 2 percent Republican support, according to Gallup. Among independents, both Obama and Trump received 11 percent support. Fauci was the choice of 5 percent of Democrats but just 1 percent of Republicans.

Former Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen trended on social media after an interview he gave MSNBC’s Ari Melber in which he advocated for inmates rights. It wasn’t Cohen’s cause which took the interview viral, but the names of his buddies.
Said Cohen: “Now, I did the mandamus because I made a promise to guys back at Otisville, like my buddies Tony Meatballs and Big Minty, that I wasn’t going to stop once I got out, once I was put back on home confinement.”

Trump’s supposedly crack legal team including a former prosecutor who had not seen the inside of a court room in decades, a former prosecutor fired from her old job for performance issues and a conspiracy-spouting attorney who was too much even for the other two spent the weeks after Election Day filing lawsuits that went exactly nowhere.
The damage wrought by Trump’s false claims will linger long after he retreats to his Florida estate. Millions of Americans have had their faith in our election process undermined by both the candidate who lost a free and fair election and the media outlets who spread his deceit for their own gain.
