That MAGA counterrevolution has already begun and Trump hasn’t even settled back into the Oval Office yet.
Each year for nearly a century, TIME Magazine has been identifying the man or woman who has, for better or worse, done the most to shape the world and the headlines over the previous twelve months.
As its Person of the Year for 2024, the TIME editors chose the once and future President Donald J. Trump, whom they rightly note has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than anyone else over the last decade.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that TIME’s “Person of the Year” is usually but not necessarily intended to celebrate the honoree; hence, past selections have included such notorious figures as Hitler and Stalin.
