Every year, TIME Magazine announces who it will name person of the year, the individual who done the most to influence global events "for better or for worse."
But the TIME person of the year accolade actually started by accident.
The final week of 1927 had been a series of slow news days, and editors were struggling to find someone to lead their Person of the Week feature.
According to a letter to readers that appeared in the 1944 edition, “no one had done anything newsworthy enough to put his picture on TIME’s cover, so somebody suggested we stop looking for a Man of the Week and pick a Man of the Year.
“This was an easy choice: Charles Augustus Lindbergh, who had soloed the Atlantic in only 33 hours and 39 minutes, was the hero of 1927.”

Based on the last weeks news coverage, there is no doubt it must be George HW Bush
I doubt it. They use PERSON OF THE YEAR to push an agenda.
Bush is history.

I could see them giving it to Karl Marx in 2021 if more leftists win in 2020.

Whoever it is, the decision will be totally political and calculated for effect. I don’t care who it is. They could do Hitler or Stalin again for all I care.

Whoever the Establishment wants to be President in 2020. So probably not the Korean boy band.
