Donald Trump has been named Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' for 2024, marking his second time receiving this recognition following his surprising political comeback and victory in the presidential election. Time Magazine highlighted Trump's pivotal influence on American and global politics, acknowledging his ability to marshal a historic comeback, realign political ideologies, and reshape the American presidency. Despite facing legal challenges and surviving two assassination attempts, Trump's influence on the political landscape has been significant, with his return to power signaling a shift towards populism and skepticism of liberal values. The magazine's decision underscores Trump's dominance in the media and his impact on both U.S. and global affairs, with his cover featuring him in a commanding pose with his trademark red tie. Trump celebrated this honor at the New York Stock Exchange, where he rang the opening bell.
