Reminder that “Person of the Year” from TIME means more of “most INFLUENTIAL Person of the Year”. They are not required to be the “best person of the year”. People of the likes of Hitler and Stalin have also graced TIME’s Person of the Year cover; they were certainly never the best people ever, but they were sure influential. And, unfortunately, this orange-tinted sack of meat packing plant waste is also influential…
He’s probably the most influential of the month, but for the year as a whole I’m not so sure I’d agree… But who knows how things will develop in 2025.
That said, every presidential election year this century has had the winner of that election as the chosen person anyway. So it’s not super meaningful IMO.

It should have been Luigi then.

I really think they need to change the meaning of their person of the year, it gives people the wrong impression
wrong impressions = more clicks
And, who gives a fuck about Time Magazine these days? I’m surprised it still exists.
They were relevant 40 years ago but, since the Internet, they have lost 90% of their cred. They got into NFTs, for fuck’s sake.
