Disgusting, in my opinion.

    Hitler was also person of the year in like 1938. Means nothing other than impact on society

    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.

        What most people don’t know about Voldemort? Pretty good at karaoke. Not great, but surprisingly better than you thought.

      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.

    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.

      Hitler was also person of the year. It’s about the person’s scale of impact, not anything to do with competence or morality.

        I hope Trump ends up like Hitler did in the end. But sooner

        Lol, yeah, the billionaire owned main stream media is completely benign an neutral in its coverage. 🙄

        Honestly, what will it take for some of you to stop taking the world at the face value those in power are selling you as reality?

    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.

      Oldest president in history, assuming he serves all 4 years. What’s your definition of “early”?

      Now JFK? That guy knew how to hit the grave early!
