it's just a two-bit magazine cover, and, considering the other idiots they've featured each year, who really cares.

The Trumpites

Not sure why people are so bent out of shape about it.

Nobody here is bent out of shape. The Trumpites thought people would get bent out of shape but that's only because they don't really understand what the title means

If they are that shocked, HH, then they haven't been following Time all that long. The mag has never shied away from putting controversial news-makers on their front page.

Ayatullah Khomeini - 1979

Joseph Stalin - 1939 and 1942

Adolph Hitler - 1938


Bill Clinton - 1992 and 1998

Barrack Obama - 2008

Time chose Giuliani in 2001. They didn't have the guts to put Bin Laden's mug on the cover.

"Though we spent hours debating the pros and cons of naming Osama bin Laden, it ultimately became easy to dismiss him," said managing editor Jim Kelly. "He is not a larger-than-life figure with broad historical sweep . . . he is smaller than life, a garden-variety terrorist whose evil plan succeeded beyond his highest hopes."

Mowich,

What a cop out! Charles Manson made the cover of Time back in the day...when we weren't all too sensitive and fragile to be able to digest reality.

And one could argue that if you switch the word 'terrorist' to 'politician' in the above statement, you'd be giving the same reason not to put Trump on the cover of Time Magazine

Charles Manson made the cover of Life magazine




He also made the cover of Rolling Stone. So far, I can find no evidence that he was ever named Time magazine's Person of the Year.

Now you know how Obama made the cover. Trump isn't in control of anything yet. Considering the 'old guard' is ruined their view of Trump is that he is probably worse than Hitler as he will win the battle for America and they are quite pissed about that. You cannot honor somebody when you are trying to destroy him at the same time. I'm thinking that the Times didn't pay any taxes in the last few decades. For them to punish Trump wouldn't that mean they should be paying taxes. Perhaps Trump should have the IRS pull their file.

(in part)
Under the twisted premise of losing the popular vote and "no taxation without representation", TIME's Mark Weston proclaims that the approximately 65 million Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton should pledge "we won’t pay taxes to the federal government... until democracy is restored."

Dang...I apologize Mowich...

I could've sworn Manson made the cover of Time back in the day. Guess they just featured him in the magazine.

My bad!

Meh, who cares.
