Editors of Time magazine earlier today revealed Donald Trump as the 2016 ‘Person of the Year’.
The US president-elect was recognised ahead of Beyonce, Simone Biles, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, and Vladimir Putin that made the top 10 shortlist.
According to Time, ‘Person of the Year’ is awarded to one who has done the most to influence the events of the year.
Several people however believe Trump doesn’t fit that description.
If the Time Person of the Year is supposed to be whoever did the most to change the world, it should be James Comey and Russian hackers.

#Trump is Time’s Person Of The Year? He cares only for himself so a cover page seems about right. Trump Foundation could pay to frame it.

How does an egotistical,narcissistic man who has proven that he lies and fabricates and is a womanizer become Person of The Year

I’m glad Trump is Person of The Year. People can look back and learn from this mistake. And that’s what he is. A mistake.

Time was also criticised
The “Person of the Year” may be the last thing Time does that anyone still pays attention to.

Time’s person of the year is someone who has made racism, bullying and misogyny, acceptable again. Shame on them.
