Trump’s Triumph: A Second ‘Person of the Year’ Title
Time Magazine has named Donald J. Trump as their ‘Person of the Year’ for 2024 – and the implications are absolutely massive.
The news marks Trump’s second time receiving the honor, following his initial selection in 2016 – but it also follows a series of negative covers on the magazine that liberal journalists running the operation seemed particularly proud of.
The announcement, which leaked prematurely, has ignited a firestorm of reactions across the political spectrum, underscoring Trump’s enduring influence on American politics.
Time’s editor-in-chief, Sam Jacobs, stood by the decision, stating that Trump was an “obvious choice” due to his significant impact on politics and history since 2015. This rationale, however, has done little to quell the outrage from left-leaning media figures and outlets.
But not everyone agrees it was the right move. Can you guess who?
The reaction from liberal media personalities has been nothing short of apoplectic. Don Lemon, a prominent voice in left-wing media circles, expressed significant displeasure over Trump receiving the honor again. MSNBC went so far as to suggest that the award had been devalued by Trump’s win, showcasing the deep-seated animosity towards the former president that still permeates much of the mainstream media landscape.
Trump’s Victory Lap: NYSE Bell Ringing and Harris Critique
In true Trump fashion, the former president celebrated his ‘Person of the Year’ honor by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. This event was particularly significant given that markets had reached record highs since Election Day, a fact that Trump supporters are quick to attribute to the anticipation of his return to the White House.
During an interview following the NYSE event, Trump delivered a characteristically blunt assessment of Kamala Harris’s failed 2024 campaign. When asked about Harris’s biggest mistake, Trump quipped that it was “taking the assignment” in the first place. This jab not only highlights Trump’s unfiltered communication style but also underscores the perceived weakness of the Democratic ticket in the eyes of conservatives.
It feels like the tide is turning, doesn’t it?
