Time magazine to name Trump ‘Person of the Year’

Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” — and to celebrate the unveiling of the cover, the president-elect will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the plans granted anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the honor.

Last year, pop superstar Taylor Swift won the honor. To mark the magazine cover reveal, Time CEO Jessica Sibley rang the opening bell.

Trump was also named Time Person of the Year in 2016 after he won the presidential election. He joins 13 other U.S. presidents who have received the recognition, including President Joe Biden.

A short list for Time Person of the Year was announced Monday on NBC’s “The Today Show” and included Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Time already announced NBA star Caitlin Clark as Athlete of the Year, Elton John as Icon of the Year and Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices as CEO of the Year.

A spokesperson for Time said the magazine “does not comment on its annual choice for Person of the Year prior to publication. This year’s choice will be announced tomorrow morning, Dec. 12, on Time.com.”

Trump attends 2016 Time 100 Gala at the Times Warner Center on April 26, 2016, in New York City.

The incoming president has long been fixated with being on the covers of magazines, especially Time.

The “Person of the Year” goes to a newsmaker who has had a significant impact on the year’s events, and in the past has included people ranging from Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II to Vladimir Putin and Joseph Stalin.

Trump in 2013 called the magazine’s annual list of influential people “a joke and stunt of a magazine that will, like Newsweek, soon be dead. Bad list!”

And in 2015, Trump complained that he was not chosen for the magazine cover that instead went to then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But he went on to call being named “Person of the Year” a “great honor.”

“It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And, you know, it’s a very important magazine,” Trump said.

Trump has been featured on the magazine cover three times this year.

The American left has a favorite player

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Timothy Weah wasn’t among the eleven Americans who took the field at the start of Friday’s match against Paraguay. But he may already be the American left’s favorite player.

In the run-up to the World Cup, the Olympique de Marseille winger has appeared at an event with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and echoed Democrats’ “affordability” messaging in his critique of FIFA’s ticket prices, earning a rebuke from Coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Hours before kickoff on Friday, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton showcased only Weah — the New York-born son of Liberian president George Weah — in a social-media post saluting the men’s national team.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the USMNT represent us in this World Cup,” wrote Clinton, accompanied by an image of Weah on the ball.

Last year, at an Oval Office photo op with his then-club team Juventus, Weah was among a group of players who stood behind President Donald Trump as he floated a possible military attack on Iran.

““It was all a surprise to me, honestly — they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go,” Weah later told journalists of the White House visit. “I was caught by surprise, honestly. It was a bit weird. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it’s kind of like, I just want to play football, man.”
