2016: Person of the Year: Donald Trump
MSN ^ | December 7, 3016 | Michael Scherer

Even for Donald Trump, the distance is still fun to think about, up here in his penthouse 600 ft. in the sky, where it’s hard to make out the regular people below. The ice skaters swarming Central Park’s Wollman Rink look like old-television static, and the Fifth Avenue holiday shoppers could be mites in a gutter.

To even see this view, elevator operators, who spend their days standing in place, must push a button marked 66–68, announcing all three floors of Trump’s princely pad. Inside, staff members wear cloth slipcovers on their shoes, so as not to scuff the shiny marble or stain the plush cream carpets.

This is, in short, not a natural place to refine the common touch. It’s gilded and gaudy, a dreamscape of faded tapestry, antique clocks and fresco-style ceiling murals of gym-rat Greek gods. The throw pillows carry the Trump shield, and the paper napkins are monogrammed with the family name. His closest neighbors, at least at this altitude, are an international set of billionaire moguls who have decided to stash their money at One57 and 432 Park, the two newest skyscrapers to remake midtown Manhattan. There is no tight-knit community in the sky, no paperboy or postman, no bowling over brews after work.

And yet he spends more time OUTSIDE of these physical ivory towers, than inside.

I love it. Even though TIME emphasizes the recognition is for influence, good or bad, the libtards will be having meltdowns. They will know it is an homor for our President- Elect (even if MSM crapweasels like TIME are increasingly irrelevant).

And the lies keep coming.

“”Despite boasting on video of sexually assaulting women””

Saw the video, like millions of Americans, and he was talking about women who approached him. He never assaulted anyone and he could take no for an answer. Unlike a previous president, who was actually kicked out of a country for sexually assaulting women.

Donald Trump was named TIME’s Person Of The Year.

Story just hit the BBC and TASS feeds.

Paraphrased from the article:

Trump has always been dismissed by the influential and as a vulgarian carnival barker flashy-showman with no substance. His critics never understood that their disdain gave him strength.

He feeds off the disrespect and used it to garner headlines and relate to common people. With his win, he has upended the leadership of the dems and republicans. He has shifted the political direction from the international globalist order.

He’ll command the most lethal military, along with the economic ability to change the lives of billions.

The people he has to thank are the deplorables- “the forgotten” regular people.

“He’ll command the most lethal military, along with the economic ability to change the lives of billions.”

Can you imagine that being said about Hillary?

Sounds like the man has made a huge sacrifice to run and be elected. He has shown remarkable energy and perseverance to a cause of saving his country. Not just his ego.

Extreme jealously is evident for sure. They are clearly having a difficult time and grudgingly accepting his upcoming term.

Yeah why no mention of the multiple mansions owned by Soros, Obama, Hillary, Gates, and just about every A list Hollywood celebrity?
