Trump to be named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ for second time
CNN ^ | December 11, 2024 | Steve Contorno and Kristen Holmes,

Donald Trump once publicly speculated that Time would never name him the news magazine’s “Person of the Year.”

Now, the honor will be bestowed on him twice.

Time will name Trump as this year’s choice on Thursday, recognizing the president-elect as the individual or group deemed to have wielded the greatest influence on global affairs “for good or for ill.” To celebrate the unveiling of the magazine cover, Trump will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. Trump sat for a wide-ranging interview with the magazine last month.

Time declined to comment.

Trump’s 2024 selection mirrors his first recognition in 2016, when Time named him Person of the Year after his unexpected rise to the presidency. This time, the unveiling caps a remarkable comeback and a resurgence that has the potential to upend modern American politics.

Despite the magazine’s dwindling circulation, Time’s Person of the Year remains an annual cultural touchstone and the distinction has become an obsession of sorts for Trump throughout the years. A Time cover naming him Person of the Year in 2009 hung in several of his golf clubs, The Washington Post reported nearly a decade later, though no such issue was ever printed.

I choose Biden and Kamala and Obama and Oprah and the Hollywood dumbasses and the democrat party, as ‘man of the year’, because, if not for their utter stupidity in their policies and attacks on Trump, Trump would not be president again.

The krap democrats tried to sell to Americans, made the country realize how stupid and delusional and deranged democrats have become.

Trump won, but not without the democrats’ help. ;)

Roosevelt was Time PofY 3x. Whatcha bet Trump matches him?

Lots of presidents made twice - Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama.

Stalin made it twice, and so did Gorbachev and Deng Xiaoping (China).

They already used that for a cover, but I agree, that would have been better.
Trump working at McDonalds or the Trump garbage truck would have been good too….

Until women were allowed to speak out loud without being beaten by backwards neanderthals.

See, a woman can win it too :)

He’s not a person.

He’s Superman :)

I cursed when I found out he was running again..he’d ruin everything!!! No one wants him!!

“oh I can’t believe he said this AND I can’t believe he said THAT!”

“No one wants a felon even if the whole thing is a fraud...the polls say so!!”

Etc :)

If I had typed out my thoughts here the past 2 years, I would have been booted after 24 years as a concern troll.

Instead of the simply dull witted, not in tune with the country slouch that I am :)

I LOVE THAT I WAS SO WRONG!

Hope you are well man :)
