TRUMP: Time Magazine MAN OF THE YEAR!
- Thread starter EagleSmack
- Start date
Thank Goodness! A publication that is acknowledging the new era America is moving into as opposed to lamenting the loss of the past.
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
At about 5 minutes to 11 this morning the five minute alert flashes on the tv screen to remind that the TV will be changing channels automatically...(A feature of Bell Express Vu pre-setting channel change when you want to make sure not to miss a show.)
So I ask my wife who was busy preparing lunch what show she had in mind...
When she said "The View" , I said to her "Wanna bet, that within 5 minutes they will be harping on Donald Trump and the rant is boud to last for 15 minutes?
Well, the show starts and the four biddies sit down with clapping from the audience of leftoids...
The first two words out of Whoopi's mouth were "Donald Trump"....:lol:
My wife grabs the remote and switched to "The Price is right"
Not any more interesting than the view, but people seem to be having fun instead of crying buckets........

Donald Trump: TIME Person of the Year 2016
More like they are acknowledging the fact that he did what no believed he could do and did so despite all evidence to the contrary.
Regardless of whether you support him or not, there is no doubt he has had the biggest impact. A logical choice for man of the year.
I believe it is 'Godwin', DS and your referral to that term is hardly apt in the context that the word hitler was presented.
Apparently, impact is one of the factors Time relies upon when making their decision.
The so was Hitler in 1936 it is not by their photo they are known
I don't think Trump is left or right I think he's nuts but that's another story

You're right about the spelling, and comparing him to Hitler may not have been your explicit intention but the implication is not new....

BTW....Its Ayatollah...:wink:
I was not comparing Trump to anyone, DS - I was simply pointing out that Time hasn't shied away from selecting other controversial people when choosing their person of the year.
Well shame on me for thinking that Time got it right.
Wouldn't be the first time a magazine makes a mistake.......non?
Being 'Person of the Year' doesn't mean that Time thinks you're a great person. It's more like 'Newsmaker of the Year'.
Not sure why people are so bent out of shape about it.

In 1979 they did. He was a newsmaker.
