Ssnip-"Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” — and to celebrate the unveiling of the cover, the president-elect will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the plans granted anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the plans."

He killed millions. Over 6 hundred thousand died under shithole so why not. The Times obviously find deaths/murder by killers okay.

Personally, I never buy the magazine anyways.

Since Nixon's 1972 election the Person of the Year has, with one exception - Reagan didn't get it in 1984 but he did a year earlier; the organizer of the 1984 Olympics, Peter Ueberroth, made in in 1984) - the winner of the presidental election always makes Person of the Year.
