Donald Trump Named Time's 2024 Person of the Year

The historic recognition highlights Trump's political comeback, but draws both praise and criticism.

Donald Trump was named Time magazine's 2024 Person of the Year, marking his second time receiving the title after first winning it in 2016.
Time cited Trump's political resurgence, his reshaping of the American presidency, and his influence on global politics as key reasons for the selection.
The recognition has sparked divided reactions, with critics pointing to Trump's legal controversies and past actions, while supporters celebrate his return to prominence.
Trump's interview with Time included a detailed fact-check of 15 statements, a first for a Person of the Year designee, addressing claims about border security, voter support, and more.
Time's editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs described the decision as 'obvious,' emphasizing the historic nature of Trump's comeback and its impact on American politics.
