Yeah, surviving two assassination attempts, becoming the first convicted president, breaking history(once done) to became the second non consecutive two term president. So yeah, he deserved it more than any person.

He had more plot armor than anyone.

Objectively speaking, Donald Trump has made the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States. Yes, even bigger than Richard Nixon's comeback in 1968.

[jaehongsong]

Whether you like him or not there was no other person that was fit for this title this year. He literally shook the world with his comeback

[AmazingGuy]

Are they serious?! This election was not close.

[iwannaplayssbb]

so this is how wokeness dies, screeching powerlessly into the void as their enemies take power

[ChouxChoux.Official]

The U turn that legacy media is making now makes me even more disgusted with them. Please don't be happy that the legacy media is now favouring Trump. That the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bozo aren't speaking ill of Trump. Their priority is not truth, but earning favour for their benefit. Never let your guard down against power.

Dear "Time" Talking Head: As for Trump/Harris 2024 being the "closest popular vote margin since the 19th century": What about the 2000 Bush/Gore vote? What about the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy vote? What about the 1968 Nixon/Humphrey vote? If you can't get basic facts straight, then why should we believe anything you say?

The video wasn't too biased until you said the Election was close. 😂😂😂 Then it showed your bias. It was a true Red wave. Republicans haven't won by a margin this big since the days of Reagan. You forget to mention that?

5:33 - This is false. I can think of at least two elections since the 19th century that were closer (1960 and 2000). In both elections, the number of votes was less as well as the percentage point difference.

[HesNotATameLion]

This was not the closest election by popular vote since the 19th century. There was a 2.5 million vote difference. In 2000, the difference was 500, 000 and in 1960 it was 100, 000. Just a couple examples.

[offbeat]

Legacy media was not Media of the Year, though.

[MaskofPoesy]

In what world was that election close???

[ws]

I love how bitter TIME is right now about having to name Trump as person of the year. 😂

[esoteric_erica]

It was never close. Why keep spreading that lie?

[pitoarmand]

Now they' are kissing the ring because they are terrified.

[eldritchsun]

I thought this was The Onion for a sec

[gusshavinski]

I didn't vote for Trump, I'm here to tell you the election wasn't close.

[obbymtz]

Not even in office but is making history

[Emilyaaker]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

Voted for him in ‘16, ‘20, and now again. Pretty awesome journey of proving people wrong time and time again. GEOTUS 👑🇺🇸
