Donald Trump can add another magazine cover to the impressive stack he has on his desk at Trump Tower. In what was probably the editors' easiest decision ever, TIME Magazine has named the president-elect as their 2016 Person of the Year.
Who else could it have been? After beating out 16
competitors (most of whom had political experience), Trump shocked the world by
becoming the 45th president of the United States. His campaign was
unprecedented - some call it a revolution. He defied all the campaign
protocols, routinely speaking off the cuff and not being afraid to call out the
media (sometimes personally.) Because of his uncouth behavior, many predicted a
Hillary Clinton landslide. Yet, as they had been all year, the pundits were
wrong once again come Election Day.
Clinton came in second yet again to Trump in the Person
of the Year running, according to TIME's managing editor Nancy Gibbs.
Congrats, Mr. President-elect.
