Trump: 'I can't imagine anybody else' other than myself for Time Person of the Year

[left-of-center2012]

A reporter asked Trump as he prepared to depart the White House for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida who deserved to finish second for the designation,
telling the president he assumed who his choice for first would be.

"I don’t know, that’s up to Time Magazine," he continued.
"I’ve been there before. I can’t imagine anybody else other than Trump."

The publication earlier Tuesday released the results of a reader poll to pick the Person of the Year.
Trump finished tied for 13th with 2 percent of the vote ...

The president claimed in 2017, when he was named a runner-up, that he turned down the honor, though the magazine refuted his claim.

1. I nominate

Michael Avenatti.

I'd love to see tRump freak out.

[djg21]

20. Mueller.

The year isn’t over!

[In_The_Wind]

2. A wee bit narcissistic.

[MiniMe]

8. LOL, you said wee bit

[sheshe2]

27. Ya think!?

[LuvLoogie]

3. I nominate Dem women. AOC and Nancy standing together.

[NastyRiffraff]

9. Pelosi absolutely

AOC needs to wait until she actually accomplishes something other than getting elected.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Amen!

[shanny]

17. ugh

[a kennedy]

30. Exactly......Nancy standing alone with the biggest gavel she can find.

[LuvLoogie]

37. I think AOC is the bridge.

She is the ENGAGED millennial willing to put it out there and hit the streets, not just lament about the man and not vote. I really do think that she will be more effective than a lot of current House occupants. Linda Sanchez comes to mind. I think AOC is going to leave LS' rising star in the dust.

Nancy's preparing of the baton pass is very much a milestone in her own career. It won't end with her office. Nancy will move this country from the comfort of her back porch just sipping tea. Just like Hillary. Those women do more for this country just by breathing.

4. Fucking Lying ASSHOLE Psycho of the year.

[Cadfael]

5. And that right there is one of the biggest problems

(The fact that he can’t imagine anyone else I mean)

[dchill]

6. How about an orange elephant?

Imagine.

[renate]

7. I don't understand why his cult members aren't repelled by such egotistic behavior and words

It really makes no sense to me. Sixty percent of the population--and more like 90% in the rest of the world--finds this self-importance disgusting. Yet his followers eat it up with a spoon and beg for more. Why? What's so appealing to them about a narcissistic blowhard?

[smirkymonkey]

32. I will never get it. Most people, if they had someone like this they knew in their real lives,

would despise such a person, particularly if they were in a position of power over them. So why do they find these qualities so appealing in a president? I can't imagined wanting to spend five minutes in a room with someone who behaved the way Trump behaves.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Time doesn't always select "good guys" for their PotY...

be careful what you ask for.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. Hitler, 1938. 'Nuff said. nt

[Girard442]

26. Yeah, people forget sometimes it isn't an attaboy.

[not_the_one]

39. It would only be appropriate if turdface was selected

IF they also pointed out the Hitler selection.

[guillaumeb]

12. And I believe that for once, he is telling the truth. eom

[tanyev]

13. That's because you've been stuck at the Symbolic Function developmental stage for 70 years.

[struggle4progress]

14. .

[elocs]

15. "I've been there before. I can't imagine anybody else other than Trump."

So he speaks of himself in the third person???

[left-of-center2012]

18. he speaks of himself in the third person???

[KayF]
