NextImg:'Utter Embarrassment': Critics Shred Time's 'Person Of The Year' Award For Trump
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Critics poured scorn on Time’s naming of Donald Trump as its 2024 “Person of the Year.”

The president-elect won “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.

Jacobs said its editors had for 97 years picked the person who “for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months.”

Commenters on social media noted Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler as a previous recipient and argued that Trump was more in the “for worse” camp of why he’d gotten it.

Man crimes.Man insurrects.Man gaslights.Man vilifies.Man wins. Man of the year. Apparently. Good lord, MSM.Good lord.

Will the next issue say, "Just kidding he's a fraud"

Trump is so classless. He is the most unstatesmanlike politician in the history of politics. Time magazine cover should be: Insane Person of the Year.

What is Time doing here? Giving Trump everything he wants, apparently. He can replace all those fake Time magazine covers with a real one. He’d better keep in mind, though, that Hitler once received this same honor.

Time magazine had Hitler as person of the year.Trump is a fascist of a new generation. Same shit, different decade.
