Donald Trump Again Honored as Time's Person of the Year

Time Magazine recognizes Trump for his historic political comeback, reflecting on his influence in reshaping American politics.


In a historic second win, Donald Trump has been named Time's Person of the Year, highlighting his significant impact on the political landscape of the United States.



Time Magazine has once more bestowed upon Donald Trump the title of Person of the Year, emphasizing his considerable influence on American politics and global standing. This marks the second occasion Trump has received this honor, having previously been named after his presidential election victory in 2016. Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs praised Trump's ability to "marshal a comeback of historic proportions" and noted that he has "driven a once-in-a-generation political realignment" which fundamentally reshaped the American presidency.

In celebration of the recognition, Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange with family alongside him, an event that was met with chants of "U-S-A" from attendees. During an interview with Time, Trump outlined his plans should he secure a second term, which include considering clemency for some of the supporters involved in the January 2021 Capitol riots and promising significant tax cuts.

Time's tradition of honoring a person or movement that has most influenced events is rooted in its founding principles from 1927, and past recipients have included notable figures such as climate activist Greta Thunberg and former President Barack Obama. Time editors had a shortlist of ten candidates for the award, which included notable names like Vice-President Kamala Harris and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

In its description of Trump, Time noted his major electoral achievements, indicating that he activated a previously disengaged demographic, leading to a decisive victory in the 2024 election while winning the popular vote for the first time. This victory positions him as the oldest person to assume the presidency, despite previously being convicted on multiple counts of fraud—a unique circumstance in presidential history.

Trump’s relationship with Time has been complex; while he expressed gratitude upon his past recognition as Person of the Year, he has voiced critical opinions on the magazine's choice of other honorees, including Taylor Swift in 2023. He also provided insight into his proposed policies, such as immigration reform and mass deportations, during discussions leading up to the election.

The significance of Trump's return to the headlines as Time's Person of the Year reflects broader trends in American political sentiment and the ongoing dialogue surrounding his controversial political legacy.
