Announced today, great choice :clap1: Nigel was in the running too.,
“It's a great honor,” the president-elect said on NBC's “Today” show on Wednesday morning. “It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And it's a very important magazine, and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year — and last year. But I consider this a very, very great honor.”
Will you join me in congratulating Scotsman Donald?
Pete.

For the people in this thread who clearly dont know the criteria for winning person of the year.
'A person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year".'
Hence why Hilter is a previous winner.

Yes its not the X-Factor
...and yet you say it's something to congratulate him over :think:
(btw, he's slagged off Time on Twitter plenty of times before, not like him praising something as soon as it goes in his favour is at all unlike him)

Of course he won the presidential election against MASSIVE odds and has worked harder in 6 months than you will ever do in your entire life.
I would say that is admirable
If we're handing these things out based on hard work then Trump would be below every nurse, doctor, firefighter, teacher (a profession I know you're such a fan of) etc, so I'd argue that's what he was given this for (hence "it's not an endorsement")
Yes, he's made an impact in 2016, but so has the Zika virus

rubbish he has worked harder, longer and with more intensity than all of them.

I think the award leads people into thinking that the person of the year has made a positive influence/contribution.. If the criteria was clearer -a huge influence- then I think people would complain less. Apart from Donald, he's probably unaware of the description of the award too.

The winner of the presidential election is always Time's Person of the Year.
It would've been pretty ridiculous not to give it to him tbh. It's not an award for the best person just the most influential.

Stalin was TIme Man of the Year, so was Putin and also Hitler, as Jake said. in 2006 we were all Person of the Year. I'm still waiting for the cheque for that one... It means nothing.

Tbf, it clearly says for the award "For Better Or Worse, the most impact made by a person for the year"
It had to be Trump really. Every elected President has won it.

Well well well...
A secret CIA assessment has found that Russia interfered in last month’s US presidential election with the goal of helping Donald Trump win the White House, the Washington Post has reported, citing officials briefed on the matter.
The report comes after President Barack Obama ordered a review of all cyberattacks that took place during the 2016 election cycle, amid growing calls from Congress for more information on the extent of Russian interference in the campaign.
According to the Washington Post, individuals with connections to Moscow provided anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks with emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief, among others.
Those individuals were “one step” removed from the Russian government, consistent with past practice by Moscow to use “middlemen” in sensitive intelligence operations to preserve plausible deniability, the report said.

First it was Comey's fault then it was because of fake news and now the Russians.

Well he has been the most influential person of the year. As numerous people have said Hitler, Stalin etc. have won so it's not exactly an endorsement.
