The Thread: Time names Trump ‘Person of the year’ and the knives come out

Some persons are horrified, some disappointed, some throwing bants around because Trump has been named Time’s person of the year. Those who know understand that Time Magazine names its person of the year solely on the basis of who made the most impact- whether for good or evil. Last year it was Angela Merkel, Germany’s Chancellor; 2014 it was the ebola fighters; 2013, it was Pope Francis; 2012, it was Barack. But backtrack some and you’ll see that controversial figures such as Adolf Hitler (1938), Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), Nikita Khrushchev (1957), Ayatollah Khomeini (1979) have been given that title.

Here are the reactions to the announcement:
