Beat me too it! Lol
just a reminder, 'person of the year' is not a 'best person' award.
a person, group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the year"
While this is true. Anything less than an objectively bad framing on Trump will be just more fluffing of him. He doesn't care if coverage is slightly negative as long as he's being covered. If they don't outright call him a grifter liar and a monster. They will have failed still.
Their description of him isn't exactly complimentary.
He has reshaped the American electorate, activating young male voters who propelled him to a decisive victory that saw him win the popular vote for the first time and turn every swing state red,” the outlet wrote. “Trump’s remarkable victory comes after he lost the 2020 election to Biden and repeatedly refused to accept the results. His 2024 win is history-making in multiple ways: he will be the oldest President in U.S. history, and he was convicted earlier this year by a New York jury of 34 counts of fraud, making him the first convicted felon to be elected President.
the author of that piece is definitely on a list.
How about naming him the "Piece of Shit of the Century"?
We got a fair amount of century to go. Assholes might take it as a personal challenge.
How about Luigi Mangione instead?
Don't they do that for each President?
LOL - Wiki has Trump already:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year
2024 - Trump
2020 - Biden/Harris
2016 - Trump
2012 - Obama
2008 - Obama
2004 - W. Bush
2000 - W. Bush
1996 - David Ho. Clinton/Ken Starr got it in 1998.
1992 - Clinton
1988 - The Endangered Earth, H.W. Bush got it in 1990.
1984 - Peter Uberoth, Reagan in 1983.
1980 - Reagan
1976 - Carter
1972 - Nixon/Kissinger, Nixon also 1971
1968 - Apollo 8 Astronauts
1964 - Johnson, Also 1967
1960 - U.S. Scientists, Kennedy 1961
Seems like each President gets 1 per term. Nixon is the only one pulling it back to back. '71/'72 after having been skipped in '68.
Johnson is the only 1 term president to get it twice because, obviously, he finished Kennedy's term.
Don't forget you were Time's Person of the Year for 2006.
There are probably people here that were born after that, so not necessarily.
Feel old yet?
