Disgusting, in my opinion.
Hitler was also person of the year in like 1938. Means nothing other than impact on society
Great, so we're living in the modern equivalent of 1938. Hopefully next year doesn't go on to be the equivalent of 1939 😬
You're like a kid sticking their fingers in their ears scream LALALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALA as loud as you fucking can do drown out reality.
Which aspect of reality is drowned out here?
Care to elaborate?
Huh?
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.
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.
That's pointless.
Oh 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!
And 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.
I mean, even Henry Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize
Give it to Luigi
Nintendo got it wrong. 2014 wasn't year of Luigi. 2024 is!
Luigi's year was 2014. 2024 started his decade!
He too
This sais more about Times than it does about Trump.
Hitler was also person of the year. It's about the person's scale of impact, not anything to do with competence or morality.

Probably worth pointing out Time is owned by a tech Billioniare
Gross.
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.
I mean he did win the popular vote. So he united more people than Kamala. Just being real about the situation.
He 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.
who still cares?! we all know this is like a fifa championship? you just have to pay to get it
Times person of the year 2025 will be the inverse of 2006: Fuck You.
Man, 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
Early? He's on his late 70s!
So, grab em and cook the books but lie enough so enough morons vote for you equals man of the year?
Tbf, Time person of the year is based on controversy more than anything
