I saw this article over on FB. Just a long-winded way of saying the chair he’s sitting on is in bad taste.

Or, Jewish progressives, having a breakdown.

My cousins, having a breakdown. Ha ha ha. I think that by the time they got their PhD’s , they stopped using their minds and now only know how to regurgitate. I value the opinion of a self employed plumber more than a university employed “expert” PhD when it comes to politics.

Is it the same chair on the Hillary-wins cover of the magazine that was sent to the stores in advance?

Haaretz = Moonbat Commie rag for self-hating, anti-Zionist Jews.

I think my favorite part of this pretentious article is the lengthy explanation of America in decay, in debt, stagnated, in deep financial crisis -— and somehow implying that it’s Trumps fault he hasn’t fixed all that prior to taking office.

The liberals at time hate Trump and willingly took all the liberties they could to trash him.
They have just started. For the next 4 years, they will find creative ways to delegitimize him.

This is a helluva stretch.

The pose, to me, represents a "different posture" than we are used to seeing (not just another politician). The chair is his..elegant leather, a symbol of his personal endeavors and achievements. He is more important than TIME, thus his portrait super imposes over it.

I can make Fake News just as easily as any other blogger.

If you think TIME is bad, check out the AOL news slideshow. It’s a full frontal assault on everything Trump.

Funny thing about photos is how they can be perceived.

The first thing he should do is get rid of the commies in the FCC and then do an anti trust media breakup. We need to break up the mainstream media ownership so it can eventually be more diverse in opinion.

The media and Hollywood literally has coordinated mind control on half the population. It needs to be broken into many small and more regional entities.

Plumbers also have a marvelous sense of humor. One whom I call on says you only have to know three things to be a plumber:

  1. $#*+ won't flow uphill.
  2. Hot water pipe and faucet is on the left.
  3. Cold water pipe and faucet is on the right.

It is definitely as negative a cover as they could do on Trump. Visually speaking, we see the back of the chair and Trump is also seen as if turning around, glaring at the camera, as if there is a secret about the harm he will bring to the country.
In comparison, previous “persons of the year” were often smiling at the camera in as positive a pose as possible.
I know this is not a characteristic image of what Republicans think, because I don’t see Trump this way. But we should be aware of how the media is still slanting things against Trump.
There are so many images of Trump smiling with his “Make American Great Again” hat on. That would have been a much more positive image.

“But we should be aware of how the media is still slanting things against Trump.”

Definitely - starting with the smear that the election was stolen from Hillary by nameless, faceless Russians who supported Trump.

Trust me, that “theory” will be presented as fact for eternity.

From the Article:

Previous winners have included Joseph Stalin (1939, 1942), Ayatollah Khomeini (1979), Adolf Hitler (1938), and other figures who I think it is safe to assume the Time staff does not endorse.

I am not so sure.
