2017's Top Retweets Include Obama and Chicken Nugget Guy

What do a former U.S. president, LeBron James and a guy who really, really likes chicken nuggets have in common?

They all made the biggest splash on Twitter this year.Twitter on Tuesday released its top trending people and topics for 2017, ranging from sportsto politics to Korean boy bands. It was a year in which almost every sector of society was mashed together or clashing on social media, with the "Tweeter in Chief," President Donald Trump, leading the way. The top retweet came from fast food lover Carter Wilkerson , who begged people to retweethim so that he could get ayear's worth of free chicken nuggets from Wendy's. He fell short of the 18-million retweet bar set by the fast-food chain, but Wendy's gave Wilkerson the nuggets anyway for the effort.President Barack Obama, with 1.7 million retweetsin August, was second.

Obama took three of the top 10 spots on the list. Cleveland Cavaliers star Lebron James was seventh, with a tweet that criticized President Donald Trump over his decision to rescind Stephen Curry's invitationto the White House to celebrate the Golden State Warrior's NBA championship.

Curry, and others on the team, said that he didn't want to visit Trump in theWhite House. While he did not make the most retweeted list, Trump took the top spot for the most tweeted about elected world leader.

He also came in No. 1 for top tweeted U.S.elected officials, with Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan taking second and third. PBS' special live coverage of Trump's inauguration daywas the most viewed live stream broadcast of the year.
