Most Admired Man

I awake to 2020 and am already in shock.  It seems that a recent Gallop survey revealed that Trump and Obama are tied as the most admired men in America.  What the hell is the matter with us? 

If you admire Trump, if he is your model, your hero, the recipient of your support, here are some things you can do to more closely duplicate his attributes:

• Lie all the time.  Shoot for a record number of lies like the 13,000+ lies Trump has said since taking office.
• Cheat on all three of your wives.
• Hire porn stars for sex then pay them not to tell anyone you hired them for sex.
• Get accused of sexually assaulting at least 25 people of the opposite sex.
• Take credit for everything good that happens around you whether you had anything to do with it or not.
• Refuse to accept blame for anything that happens around you even if you are responsible.  Blame bad stuff on a competitor, a conspiracy, a hoax, or Hillary or Obama.
• Take the millions of dollars you were given by your parents and declare yourself a self-made rich man.
• As a public official refuse to release your tax returns.
• Claim to be a genius but do all that you can to block the release of your college transcripts.
• Claim that the evidence presented in the impeachment process is all a Democratic hoax, but refuse to allow those who know what happened to testify and do all that you can to block the release of documents that would clarify the charges.
• Start charities that were a scam and forced to close.
• Start a college that was a scam and forced to close.
• Praise your enemies and attack your allies.
• Praise dictators and criticize democracies.
• Use social media to personally attack anyone who disagrees with you or questions your behavior.
• Mock the disabled.
• Gather your followers in a venue so that you can pump them up with lies.  Should anyone disagree with you in such events have them removed.
• Criticize the US Constitution that you have sworn to protect and defend.  Propose changes that eliminate the freedom of the press and term limits on the Presidency.
• Stop reading non-fiction and promote conspiracy theory books that support your world view.  Then stop reading altogether.
• Claim to be a hard-working person but play golf once every five days.  Play golf at your own resorts so that taxpayer money helps you grow your wealth.
• Claim to be a Christian and that the Bible is your favorite book but never go to church and be unable to name one scripture that you find inspiring.
• Call any accurate report of your shortcomings fake news and offer alternative facts.
• After you have lied, cheated, failed and hidden all the data you can, you can claim that any effort to remove you from your job is an obsession or conspiracy.

And the above list is just personal attributes.  Policy and decision-making, knowledge and expertise attributes would require a new list.

Good luck with changing your behavior to more closely match your most admired person.  If a family member acted like Trump I would organize an intervention to get them help as soon as possible.  With more Americans acting like Trump we will become the most shamed nation on the planet.  We are close to that anyway.
