Time should be out of time. They no longer have any credibility.

I actually don't have any problem with their choice.

Time explains that the title is given to “the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months.”

Trump was the obvious pick - nobody in the world is worse than him.

And don't forget, Hitler was also once chosen as Time's Person of The Year.

If you put it that way ok but still 2 incredibly poor choices and it is irresponsible to use that process.

This gives the impression of credibility where none exists.

Indeed.

There are people out there who mistakenly believe that Person of The Year is always a good thing.

It certainly isn't - this year's pick has proven that point.

The criterion is “the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year.” A lot of news is bad news and a lot of people who make bad news are very powerful people. TIME’s editors aren’t immune to that reality. Famously, they named Hitler in 1938 and Stalin in 1939 and again in 1942. These were men who had a huge impact, not just in those years but over the entire century. It’s easy to stand by those choices, looking back. Arguably you could do a bad guy every year and be justified.

Trump is a bad guy, and hence he's on the cover.

Do you think Bobbi and Frank will understand that?

Supporting a convicted felon, found guilty sexual assaulter and insurrectionist says a lot about the character of the people supporting those things. None of it good. Time should be out of time. They no longer have any credibility.

The election is won.......President Donald Trump won easily

Think minor issues like you allude to will hinder his Presidency in any way.....think again.

The Oval Office of the White House reaches everywhere, & the Commander-in-Chief wields a lot of political power....power to apply immense pressure....especially on the National court system & it's lower courts.....even in Liberal New York. In time, for political reasons, I predict many of those pesky lil annoyances will quickly fall by the wayside.....with cases dropped & convictions revisited, & overturned....all neat & legal. I've seen it happen many times before, caused by people way less powerful than the POTUS.

Whatever dear supporter of a convicted felon, sexual assaulter and an insurrectionist.

Flattery will get you nowhere.....not even on santa's good list

Maybe Monster of The Year would be more appropriate.

He's an obvious choice when you look at Time's criteria.

Time explains that the title is given to “the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months.”

The rapist was the obvious pick - nobody in the world is worse than him.

Well, there's Putin but he hasn't made the headlines as much.
