    Time Magazine's Person of the Year

    Yawn...

    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, Donald Trump is TIME’s 2016 Person of the Year.
    On the short list was Hillary Clinton - and Beyonce.

    I know we had a lot of good people pass away this year, but I hadn't realised that the situation was that bad.

    The way the front page is, the M for time makes it look like Trump has some satan horns.

    Person of the year for Time in 1938 was Hitler.

    But in all fairness his election was big news so I can totally see why (at least more than Beyoncé).

    Hitler, Stalin (Twice), Khrushchev, Ayatollah Khomeini and (pracitcally) every single elected prez of the land of the free has been on Time's list. This is just par for the course.
