Time Magazine Names Trump As Person Of The Year 2016
Influential magazine Time has named President-elect Donald Trump as their person Of The Year. This is the magazine who once named Adolf Hitler as Man Of The Year. The shortlist for the prestigious award included Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin, Christopher Biggins and Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. Also included in the list was Nigel Farage (yes, that much is true). Hillary came second in the editors poll – just missing out on the top slot…..again. Time defended their decision on the basis that Trump ‘changed the nature of US politics’. That is certainly true, future American elections will encourage every goofball in the country to have a go – we can all learn from the mantra, ‘if Trump can do it, anyone can do it.’ Trump was pleased to receive the accolade saying, ‘This is a great honour. A really great honour. This means great deal to me. A great deal. how upset is Hillary? Really? Good.’
