No question about it.

Time magazine got it right this time.

Donald Trump defied all the rules of political gravity.

He not only is Teflon Don. He is Houdini.

Congratulations are in order.

I'm offended but then again, history is a great reminder.

1938, time chose Adolf Hitler to be the Man of the year (changed in 1999 to Person of the year.)

So i am not as surprised as i ought to be that they chose such an ass wipe of a person to grace their cover. They've had many controversial figures on their covers, it's only fair that they have Trump on it.

Say what you will about this orange hair, dumb ass hole. But he's indeed disrupted the balance of civility and broken all social etiquette. He deserves it.

Donald Trump Is Time’s Person of the Year, to No One’s Surprise
Mr. Trump beat out 10 other finalists announced on Monday, including Hillary Clinton; Simone Biles, the Olympic gymnast; Beyoncé; Mark Zuckerberg; and the Flint, Mich., whistle-blowers, the residents and civil engineers who sounded the alarm on lead-poisoned water in the city.

The magazine’s “No. 2” person of the year was Mrs. Clinton, who is on track to win the popular vote but lost the Electoral College in the presidential election to Mr. Trump.

In a phone interview with Matt Lauer, a NBC host of “Today,” Mr. Trump said: Time is “a very important magazine. I’ve been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year and last year.”

But he added: “When you say divided states of America, I didn’t divide them. They’re divided now. I mean there’s a lot of division, and we’re going to put it back together and we’re going to have a country that’s very well healed.”

It was unclear if Mr. Trump had seen the Time cover yet and knew that it was the magazine, and not Mr. Lauer, that had called the United States “divided.”

The magazine’s annual selection is more of an exercise in self-promotion than covering the news, but Mr. Trump actually gave “Today” some news during the announcement.

In a wide-ranging interview, the president-elect told Mr. Lauer that he expected to announce his choice for secretary of state next week. He also addressed his apparent decision in June — announced on Tuesday — to sell all of his stock holdings.

Nancy Gibbs, Time’s editor, said Mr. Trump’s selection this year was “one of the more straightforward” choices the magazine had made.

Mr. Trump has been on the magazine’s cover many times in 2016 for features that were both positive and negative. In January, he called its profile of him “one of the best I’ve ever had.” In August, Time featured an illustrated likeness of him melting down, as rumors swirled that his campaign was faltering; two months later, it revisited that image to show him in full meltdown.

Last year, Mr. Trump complained when Time chose Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, and not him as its person of the year. “They picked the person who is ruining Germany,” he said then.
