Chicago – December 13, 2024
Donald Trump has been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for the second time in less than a decade. The announcement was made as Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, marking a dramatic moment for the occasion.
Trump, who first won the title in 2016, expressed his gratitude, calling it a “tremendous honor.” He reflected on his first term as president, which he described as successful despite challenges and media criticism. Trump also commented on how the media’s attitude has softened towards him, joking that if it doesn’t continue, he may have to “take them on again.”
Other candidates for the title this year included Vice President Kamala Harris, Princess Catherine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, billionaire Elon Musk, and podcast star Joe Rogan. Trump’s win highlights his continued influence on the world stage, especially after his comeback victory in the November election.
As a two-time winner, Trump remains a central figure in global politics, with his impact still strongly felt in both the U.S. and abroad.
