News donald trump Time magazine
Time Magazine is expected to make Trump their Person of the Year, and it’s as popular a choice as you’d expect
Time Magazine has been nominating a Person of the Year since 1927, when it named Charles Lindbergh – the transatlantic aviator.
The award, for want of a more apt word, goes to ‘the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year’, and has therefore included some pretty dreadful recipients, including Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Ayatollah Khomeini.
In 2016, they nominated Donald J. Trump, citing the scale of his political disruption. In 2024, as he appoints billionaires to take money and services from struggling Americans and offers environmental carte blanche to anyone who invests a billion in the US, that disruption is set to increase exponentially.
Time is believed to have picked him again, although no official announcement has been made at the time of writing.
