Time Magazine named their ‘Person of the Year’ and it’s America’s most notorious, convicted criminal in recent times, DonOLD J. Trump, AKA, The Fascist Guy. Time chose TFG “…for marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America’s role in the world,” the publication’s editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said in an article explaining the decision.
Trump received the same honor in 2016 after beating Hillary Clinton.
The returning POTUS fended off competition from his 2024 Democratic rival Kamala Harris, his new tech billionaire pal Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, among others, for this year’s title.
Time’s editor in chief Sam Jacobs wrote that it was not a difficult choice this year: “Since he began running for President in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump … On the cusp of his second presidency, all of us—from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics—are living in the Age of Trump.”
