Donald Trump named Time magazine's Person of the Year

Time magazine has named Donald Trump its Person of the Year.

“Me growing up reading Time magazine, it’s a very important magazine. I’ve been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year and last year, but I consider this a very, very great honor.

“To be on the cover of Time magazine as Person of the Year is a tremendous honor," Trump said.

Time editor Nancy Gibbs writes that Trump is Person of the Year for “reminding America that demagoguery feeds on despair and that truth is only as powerful as the trust in those who speak it,” for “empowering a hidden electorate by mainstreaming its furies and live-streaming its fears” and for “framing tomorrow’s political culture by demolishing yesterday’s.”
