Disgusting, in my opinion.
Hitler was also person of the year in like 1938. Means nothing other than impact on society
101 3 ReplyGreat, so we're living in the modern equivalent of 1938. Hopefully next year doesn't go on to be the equivalent of 1939 😬

Being Times person of the year means you have had a significant impact, not that you are necessarily a good person. It says nothing about doing good deeds.
89 2 ReplyA subtlety lost on many.
Voldemort was a great wizard.

The whole NYSE thing though is blatantly sucking up to Trump. And since Times already gave it to him once, maybe don't feed his overinflated ego even more? Because there is no way he is going to take it as a negative, as his desperate desire to be on the cover has shown.
16 1 ReplyThat's pointless.
5 5 ReplyOh yeah, it's totally benign.. 🙄

I place no credibility in time's person of the year. Hitler was times person of the year once.
Hell, I was time magazine's person of the year in 2006! I worked at Wendys that year.....I didn't do nothin!
60 4 ReplyAnd Hitler kinda had an impact on the world. You trying to deny that?
Time's Person of the Year is about impact on society. It's not the Nobel Peace Prize.
17 0 ReplyI mean, even Henry Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize

39 0 ReplyThis sais more about Times than it does about Trump.
40 3 ReplyHitler was also person of the year. It's about the person's scale of impact, not anything to do with competence or morality.
27 4 ReplyI hope Trump ends up like Hitler did in the end. But sooner
3 0 ReplyLol, yeah, the billionaire owned main stream media is completely benign an neutral in its coverage. 🙄
Honestly, what will it take for some of you to stop taking the world at the face value those in power are selling you as reality?

I love (hate actually) how his supporters always default into chanting, “USA… USA… USA…” while in reality they are for dividing the states, not uniting them.
It’s just a braindead idiocracy chant without meaning at this point.
9 1 ReplyI mean he did win the popular vote. So he united more people than Kamala. Just being real about the situation.
1 2 ReplyHe won 49.8% of the popular vote.
That is hair over half the votes. Which is my point— dividing the country right in half, not uniting it.

8 0 Reply8 0 ReplyTimes person of the year 2025 will be the inverse of 2006: Fuck You.
7 0 ReplyMan, I hope when he does an inevitably shit job and the economy tanks, that even his allies turn on him and he is hounded into an early grave
6 0 ReplyOldest president in history, assuming he serves all 4 years. What's your definition of "early"?
Now JFK? That guy knew how to hit the grave early!
3 0 ReplyHaha ok fair, I just meant I hope the stress gets to him and puts him down. Though he’s a narcissist so that how is unlikely

Early? He's on his late 70s!
