Donald Trump claims he turned down this year’s “Person of the Year” award. Time denied it. Trump famously had a fake Time magazine cover featuring him on his wall, and is just as famously obsessed with the appointment, which he won in 2016.
Now, Time’s not great at picking winners. So don’t get your hopes up! They once specialized in dull-edged controversy but often retreat into daft cop-outs like, say, “anonymous Twitter accounts.” Perhaps they’ll just wring their hands into giving it to Trump anyway.
I’d like to see Time give it to this pair. You might well disgree with one or the other, but it would make Trump’s head explode. Not that he’s hard to get going. Pence would be finding chunks of his brain in the Oval Office for months.
