STOP downplaying it, Savanah. There was no competition.

[Thaddeus-mlif]

Why bother announcing it? The announcer looks like he’s constipated and so disrespectful the way they say it.

[Coral-reef.]

Trump just keeps winning and winning and winning

[dsemasin]

You KNOW they were hoping Kamala would be on the cover!

[Thaddeus-mlif]

Should have used the photo from his rally with the American flag behind him.

[gerdan]

Time executives trying to stay out of prison.

Americans trying to make sense of the biggest threat of the year being honored…

[relevation]

Trump will help you sad twisted people whether you want it or not 😂

Just get over it and accept it

[ryanschwartze]

You can hear it in her voice 0:49 she hurting inside when it’s announced Donald Trump won.

[adrianelias]

Love it! Democrats are just starting to recover from the election and then see this! 😂

[rmc]

Well, there are those who fully expected by now that Trump would be "doing TIME".
Looks like they were right!
Why does that Rolling Stones song keep playing in my head?
TRiUMPh 2024 !!

PERSON: Intelligence, the capacity to speak a language, creativity, the ability to make moral judgments, consciousness, free will, a soul, self-awareness . . And i would like to believe that should include - 'possessing a HEART.' Shouldn't one at a minimum, atleast meet the definition of what it is to be a "PERSON" - First.

[harryyarrow]

I just hope Rachel Maddow, and Nicole Wallace have access to therapy, ( or Rodeo Drive).💙💜💙

[rneedham]

They should have named Luigi Mangion Man of the Year. He has killed less than trump and doesnt have bone spurs.

[pswalking]

It's about time they gave him a respectful cover... Time has become such a rag.. I never read it ...

[Theskyisblue-xt]

Why didn’t Time pick someone who has actually done some good in the world?

[MadBinxx]

They made Hitler man of the year in 1938, too.

[christymichael]

This was the most depressing presentation of person of the year. What a disappointment because this man is incredible. The gentleman presenting the news, looked sad and depressed, and it seemed like you emphasized the phrase for better for worse. I’m disappointed in Savana and the whole group of you.

[michspartan]

“ shot list” 😂 it’s painfully obvious Trump was going to WIN

[timshipp]

Is anyone really surprised at this?
All year long, every single day, all we ever heard from corporate media was 'Trump Did This' & 'Trump Did That'.
Could have ignored him, written him off, and kept their mouth shut, but NOPE!
Their over-played hype and non-stop promotion of DJT gave us the Person of the Year!!
Great job guys!😂😂😂😂

[DEichenberg]

A lot of leftists crying themselves to sleep.
