He won’t be content until there are rows of liberals chained up, on their knees, weeping and begging for mercy - live on Fox News! - before getting a bullet in the back of the head.
People will come up to him with tears in their eyes. Thank you Mr President you allowed me to say Merry Christmas again and saved me from transgender people in the bathroom 😭
Don't forget that he also saved the country's windows and cows because Democrats were absolutely going to ban both of those things. While we're praising Dear Leader for his wisdom and absolutely true statements, remind me again how it was the economy that determined this election?
It should also be noted they talked him out of it by pointing out that DC streets weren't built to handle tanks, and that was the thing he wanted more than anything else.
I don't think that's changed, which means he's about to destroy the infrastructure of the city he's chosen to live in.
If he gets to hear the band play everyday maybe he won’t sent them into combat and will enjoy playing with his toys at home? Give him something shiny to play with and hope it distracts him
It will not save them. Loyalty only ever flows one way.
The closest they can get to security with this nonsense is a short-lived positive balance in the "what have you done for me lately?" column - IF there isn't already some grudge in place.
Have you noticed how certain people & entities are falling in line with MAGA?
Time Magazine, Fetterman, NYSE, the Army/Navy game this weekend, etc.
They're clearly without courage & spine to reject this crook.
Yes he needs a pacifier because he's never matured beyond his oral fixation. He won't be running anything, however. He is surrounded by people who will not be heald accountable and have free reign. In fact, these forms of recognition will both emboldened him and his evil minions. Don't be fooled.
well i mean the Person of the Year in American election years is almost always whoever is elected president, regardless of anything else. like they gave it to Biden in 2020 even when he minimized himself in that campaign
But Biden wasn’t a rapist. Nor did Biden mock veterans, wounded warriors and the war dead. Nor was Biden a convicted felon, but other than that….good point.
Person of the Year isn't "Best Person of the Year", it's the person who defined a given year. That was certainly Trump in 2016, even if he'd lost the election. but nothing Biden did besides "win" was all that memorable in 2020
It works for about five minutes. Then comes the screaming until they tire themselves out and fall asleep.
Only problem is you can't just ignore someone with nuclear codes like you can a toddler. I wish I could just keep watching TV while they wear themselves out without worrying about starting war.
Gloating as he stands flanked by two giant posters of the Time cover an the wall behind him. Talk about pathological grandiose narcissism and sucking up to Dear Leader.
Imagine if I showed up wearing a sandwich board that said,
"A convicted felon, out on bail, is forming a government with drunks, drug addicts, crooks, lunatics, and sadists so he can pull off the biggest 'bust out' heist in history."
You know what, if doing this meaningless performative non-sense prevents him from burning down our country, I'm all for it. Give him all the head pats he needs until he croaks.
I always wondered how a society got to be like North Korea or Nazi Germany, where the people were blindly and foolishly loyal to a frumpy idiot douche, and now I kinda get it: people in positions of power in the system are small-minded, weak-willed, and prioritize their comfort and safety above all.
We watched the USSR disband and the Pootie came to power and is suddenly trying to start his own reunification. People are easily swayed. We are now in a similar position where a power grab is being made and half the country thinks it is the way to go
This is why I don’t trust corporate media. I saw the kids in middle and high school who internalized the lessons of go-along-to-get-along and who were excited to be close to power (even small amounts of it) and I watched them grow up to be unexamined adults in suits with positions of authority.
We had to go along in the 60s…that’s why we had sit downs and love ins and drugs and demonstrations - nothing really to do with corporate media, we were rebelling against society, which included our parents, our friends parents, our teachers… and the war
I didn’t. I sat that shit out and battled my teachers and administrators and even other kids. I argued that it was stupid and fascist and unAmerican. Good times for me! 🤣
I quit the Time CNN nonsense, especially Time magazine long ago. Person of the Year? If the shitwad Trump is PofY, Time is toilet paper literally. Only when the red X is printed over his face on the cover is there some possible journalism in there. Pure garbage.
Why would you try not to when we started with ethnic cleansing, added reservations, then had internment camps against our own citizens? Nothing about this country has ever been good
DISGUSTING! The Orange Slug always ready to take credit for what others have done. Let's see where these sycophants are this time next year. I can’t imagine they will be so eager to kiss their new Kings ass once his tariffs do their worst. Until then I’ll keep my vomit bucket handy.
The capitalist has always been the best friend of the fascist, because the capitalist believes that it is cheaper and more profitable to buy a monopoly by bribing the fascist, than competing fairly in a democratically regulated open market.
The only explanation I have for Trump not being America's own Silvio Berlusconi is that Trump is a fundamentally broken and vile person. He could be a happy-go-lucky corrupt asshole, ripping us off while he golfs and grabs ass, but he is driven by vengeance and hatred.
And then the narrative “he’s person of the year, he rang the bell, approval of his transition is high” becomes the “truth”: he’s good at this and everyone likes him. If you don’t agree, something is wrong with you.
It's so funny because he doesn't care. Don't get me wrong, he always wanted that cover but nothing can change the fact that he's not giving grace to anyone unless he's paid. From now on our government will be making a lot of cash transactions directly into the billionaires pockets.
There are few people within the current system willing to fight back against this. That's the shocking part. Most Democrats don't know what to do besides condemnations. They need to learn how to use propaganda and sling mud better. It's ok to do if the ends are right. It's beneath them it seems.
Not to be rude, at least not as the main driving point of the question, but who pays attention to Time anymore? I couldn’t tell you any of the people of the year they’ve picked 🤷♂️
The debate showed how he was soooo easy to manipulate, even by someone who he knew was trying to take him down. People will be trying to manipulate him for good outcomes and for bad, from Putin to Time Magazine. Also, the dementia makes him simple.
His intentions are to make money, and to use the power of the state to support that goal.
If I'm an airline pilot and I fly into headwinds, burning fuel and running the engine so hard I stall it, I am am a BAD pilot. But I'm technically doing my job.
Right impossible to truly know what is his real position and also who he intends to nominate to positions of power, I can see why the NYSE would be wary of him because what if his economic policies backfire? Authoritarians aren't known for acknowledging mistakes, they pivot to a new boogyeman
Well, they could expect him to follow through on his promise to deport everybody who harvests in processes all of our food in this country resulting in mass starvation and death.
Everyone knows capitulating to toddlers does not stop tantrums, it only increases the likelihood of future tantrums. (I hate to call this creature a toddler. All the toddlers I’ve known are innately kind and caring.)
It would have been so much better if someone had created a new television reality show back in 2015 called "The President," starring, of course, trump. It would have been like The Truman Show and only trump wouldn't know it wasn't real. If only.
During the last admin, the Department of Energy did the same thing with Rick Perry. They let him sign all the supercomputers and sent him to visit the ITER construction site.
Doesn’t the winning president always get Time PotY in an election year? Biden in 2020, Trump in 2016, Obama in 2012 and 2008, Bush Jr in 2004 and 2000. Most previous presidents too, dating back to FDR.
Really, really trying to understand the mindset of the more power and money you accumulate, the more cowardly you become. Is boot licking some sort of ingrained cultural signaling for these people?
the ever increasing absurdity is how this gets worse. seemingly innocuous and somewhat laughable at the time, hindsight will regard these as critical inflection points contributing to the fall of the us empire.
Placating him is an interesting strategy: give him all the attention he craves, and then maybe he won’t feel the need to DO anything, but then, it didn’t work with Adolph

Even Trump would not be that cruel
i half expect him to show up in a military uniform covered in medals
Really miss Trevor Noah.

This man has been holding the country hostage for nearly ten years now. Getting real sick of it.
They didn't close a door, they opened one.
No shitty missile frigate for the bestest boy.

Capping rates sounds swell, but every cookie he promises the masses is a distraction while he steals their ATM password.
Unless we think he's going to pivot left and start breaking up the big banks, to which I say "Good."
But I don't see Trump as a true populist. He's a billionaire with a friendly audience. He's not actually interested in the people.
Oh wait, they had Hitler on the cover last millennium.

no forgive and no forget
I wouldn’t worry too much about who Times Magazine chooses as PotY. They’ve been normalizing dictators and war criminals for a long time.
The Nobel Peace Prize is next!
But risky...
Fluff his senile toddler ego.
