here is what Time Magazine uses as it's guide for selecting its "Person of the Year."

Person of the Year (called Man of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine, Time, that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year".


Like it or not, Trump fits into that "for better or for worse..." category.

(You can google it.)

Time is quite scathing in their explanation for why he was selected.

I mean most people would be amazed he joins the likes of Hitler, Stalin. He fits right in to that group of change makers.

That little tit hasn't won so much as a by election.

Trump now joins such luminaries as Stalin and Hitler.

or because they wont bow to him.

He is not now, cant ever be the president. Must be opposed at every turn, no matter what.

But if you do that, guess who does the job for him, a man who has no equal when it comes to hating gays and brown people.

"Pervert" is certainly accurate, but I'm really trying to get under his gnat-wing-thin skin before January 20th.

Do you think he might mention me in his next Twitter-storm?

for Time Person of the Year? It has nothing to do with who is good or bad, just impacting the world. Time as said this.

I usually buy their Person of the Year edition, but no way would I purchase anything with the criminal assface on the cover.
