Tough guy and manly man Donald Trump is upset that we are so “politically correct” nowadays that he can’t be “Man of the Year” anymore. Seriously. After Time Magazine named him “Person of the Year,” he is crying foul because the title is too politically correct. He keeps bringing up the point over and over at his “victory tour” rallies:
“I was lucky enough to receive the Time Person of the Year,” Trump said in Des Moines, Iowa, the third rally on his “Thank You” victory tour. “They used to call it ‘Man of the Year,’ but they can’t do that anymore, so they call it ‘person.’ They want to be politically correct. That’s OK.” He also whined about their usage of the term “divided nation.”

Donald, it’s divided because nearly three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton. It’s time to face the fact that you lost the popular vote by the widest margin in history. It wasn’t even close. The majority of voters just aren’t into you.

Not one to let an issue go, on Friday afternoon, he brought the “Person of the Year” title up again:

1. trumplethinskin is at it again

[sagetea]

19. Oh my god!!!

trumplethinskin...LOLOLOLOL!!! hahahaha..thank you!!!

sage

[niyad]

38. yes, whoever came up with that one is brilliant.

[bravenak]

2. Calling him a person was being kind

[niyad]

3. that was my thought

[cwydro]

6. Lol.

So true.

[sheshe2]

25. He is no human that is for sure.

[PunkinPi]

36. my thought too!!

[MADem]

4. Orangutan of the Year.

Apologies to orangutans.

[tblue37]

27. Orange Foolius. Foolius Caesar. nt

[MADem]

31. My fav is still "Hair Furor!" :P

[cwydro]

5. I want a NOPE bumpersticker.

And hell yeah, I'll proudly drive my car bearing it into my red county job.

[loyalsister]

7. No surprise

That is pretty natural for a guy so insecure that he wears such a truly pathetic comb over.
And of course he probably relishes the opportunity to bash inclusion and "political correctness."

[RKP5637]

8. More appropriate would have been: "Loser of the year!" n/t

[Chimichurri]

9. What a whiny little bitch

[rzemanfl]

52. Please look at this thread-

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028359434

I caught a lot of flack for "b***h"

[Solly Mack]

10. Even Trump agrees he's not a person.(human being)

[niyad]

12. that was my first thought

[pandr32]

11. Fukwit doesn't realize "person" includes 50% more people

"Man" of the year is only an honor to 50% of the population.
"Person" of the year puts him as the honoree of everyone--even if it is only because he conned his way to that top position.

[niyad]

13. he is so insecure that if he isn't acknowledged as male at every turn, he probably has to

check his pants. .

[Maru Kitteh]

37. But do you think that really helps? I mean, trying to work the zipper with those tiny little hands

of his is probably an exercise in humiliation all in itself.

[niyad]

39. oh, dear. . . you nearly owed me a keyboard!!!

[pandr32]

41. Ha-ha! Probably!

[tblue37]

29. It ISN'T an "honor." Hitler, Stalin, and Putin were named, too. It out s

only about who had most influence (good OR bad!) over what Time deems newsworhy.

[pandr32]

42. Trump thinks it is!

He loves a cover shot.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. What's That? It's Pat (Trump)

[Joe941]

15. What do you expect from a president who wrestled in the WWE?

[niyad]

17. well, he is not yet the president.

[Orsino]

16. Man-Child of the Year. n/t

[malthaussen]

18. Playing to his base.

I doubt he cares, although who knows where Mr Trump's excuse for a mind goes? Just another attempt to tweet a distraction from bad news, which may not work in this instance. The Turtle is already scrambling to find a way to cover the GOP's collective ass.

20. Can you imagine Obama even mentioning

His Person of the year award or his Nobel prize award? Trump has no class. Zero. Money sure can't buy character!

[Vinca]

21. He should be grateful it's not "Turd of the Year."

[SticksnStones]

22. It's a dog whistle of a shout out to the MRAs in his base nt

[BSdetect]

23. What a tough guy - Putin must be worried

[Binkie The Clown]

24. It should have been orangutan of the year. n/t

[Frustratedlady]

26. It's the hands, stupid!

Who'da thunk it?

Is there anything he agrees with?

Trumplethinskin is right.

[Ilsa]

28. On my laptop he's called he's called fuckhead of the century.

Makes GWB look like a good president.

What a thin-skinned narcissist.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

30. That's right...."PERSON".....

That makes you GAY.

.....sheeze.....

[AgadorSparticus]

32. Lmao!!

[Megahurtz]

33. What - the - hell.

[uppityperson]

34. Donnie, there are so many other accurate terms they could've used.

[turbinetree]

35. Why not Serial Predator of the Year?

There are tapes and there are woman that accused him, that's what time should have done

Oh yeah your not my president

[niyad]

40. that one would have really ticked him off--and then we would have heard from conway!

[turbinetree]

43. I don't care I would like to see his face turn into a tomato with his hair as a back drop

as for CONway, she has turned the art of speaking out of both sides of ones mouth into a art form, and the media gives her the means to "normalize" this cartoon character set of right wing fascist-------amazing

[niyad]

44. I would love to see him do what overripe fruit does!! and the k person--there are words. . .

[turbinetree]

45. You know there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe what is going to happen

if his grupenfurhrer cabinet gets there assignment post.

I quit basically main stream news, and have gone 3/4 to Free Speech TV and the Blackhawks and Vikings and donated to Free Speech.

I was listening to Ari Rabin Havta this morning and he had on Mike Papantonio, and just the ten minutes that he was on the radio, I did not realize the extent of what J&J and Dupont are doing to you and me and everyone else, and he Papantinio is going to have his own show called American lawyer, it is really scary how John Roberts and the republicans are taking away our mean to file suit, and in the process the Roberts court and the republicans are taking away the class action status to fight against J&J and Dupont and many others killers called the oligarchy, and I am just starting to read Private Empire by Steven Coll, its about Exxon and the right wing plutocrat that the dumpster serial predator wants at state.

[niyad]

46. it is truly horrifying what is going on at every level of government in this country--a war is being

waged against the people, most of whom do not even begin to comprehend it.

I have been maintaining for a long time that we need a whole new language to adequately convey the hatred, the ignorance, the destructiveness of the powers that be.

[turbinetree]

47. I agree with you-------------100%

[Cha]

48. Does that mean he didn't like Mad Mag calling him

"Pervert of the Year"?

[niyad]

49. nah, he prides himself on that!!

[Jamaal510]

50. He brags about

committing sexual misconduct, calls his opponents names, and can't tolerate adversity, yet he expects to be called a man?

[niyad]

51. you make a most excellent point.

[CountAllVotes]

53. No one knew for certain

Plant, vegetable, mineral or human ...

[niyad]

54. pretty sure he fits in none of those categories. personally, I think he is an extra-terrestrial

(hey, whichever galaxy or whatever dumped him on us, FU)
