The elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been named "Person of the Year" by Time magazine, marking his second time receiving this prestigious title.
The recognition highlights its global impact, both positive and negative, and underscores its influence on some of the most significant events of the past year, according to CNN.
On its various platforms, the announcement was made by the magazine on Thursday, solidifying Trump as a figure of great significance in the political and social landscape.
This title comes at a pivotal moment, following his notable return to politics and his recent electoral victory that will bring him back to the White House on January 20.
A recognition that reflects her influence
The first time Trump received this title was in 2016, following his unexpected ascent to the presidency. This time, Time celebrates not only his return but also his ability to redefine modern American politics.
According to the magazine, Trump's selection as "Person of the Year" acknowledges those who have had the greatest influence globally, regardless of the nature of that impact.
Celebration and legacy
To commemorate the cover, Trump is expected to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, accompanied by members of his family, including his daughter Ivanka Trump, who has kept a low profile in recent years.
This event symbolizes both the significance of this recognition and Trump's ongoing role in American politics and society.
Although Time has faced criticism for its decline in circulation, its annual selection of the "Person of the Year" remains a cultural benchmark.
In this case, it highlights Trump's significance as a key player on the global stage, reaffirming his status as a polarizing yet undeniably influential figure.
In addition, it not only celebrates its influence but also highlights the challenges and controversies that have arisen on the way to its second presidential term.
In 2019, Trump threatened a photojournalist from the magazine with sending him to jail for taking a picture of a letter sent to him by the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, despite being warned not to do so. This was one of several controversies they have been involved in.
