Donald Trump Rings NYSE Bell After Being Named TIME’s Person of the Year

The president-elect’s visit to the New York Stock Exchange signals pro-business priorities ahead of his second term.

Donald Trump celebrated his TIME Person of the Year recognition by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first president to do so since Ronald Reagan in 1985.
Trump’s appearance highlighted his administration’s anticipated focus on tax cuts, deregulation, and a pro-business agenda aimed at boosting economic growth.
The president-elect announced plans to establish a Department of Government Efficiency, co-led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to streamline federal regulations and reduce government spending.
Trump’s interview with TIME revealed his stance on key issues, including maintaining access to abortion pills and downplaying the transgender bathroom debate as a divisive but minor issue.
Polls show optimism about Trump’s second term, but upcoming policies, including mass deportations and proposed tariffs, could test public approval and international relations.
