Time magazine Person of the Year: President-electect Donald Trump reportedly set for crowning
Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s Person of the Year, according to two people familiar with the selection and plans.
A spokesperson for Time declined to comment on the selection.
The Republican US president-elect built his fortune as a New York real estate investor before turning to politics. During his first term as president, he measured his success in part by the strength of the stock market, which has so far welcomed his re-election.
