Donald Trump has once again become Time magazine’s coveted 'Person of the Year', securing the annual recognition for a second time in less than a decade. The publication’s naming of the world’s most consequential figure of 2024 was accompanied by Trump ringing the New York Stock Exchange’s opening bell on Thursday morning.
'Well, thank you very much. This is an honor, a tremendous honor,' Trump said to those at the NYSE. 'And I have to say, Time magazine getting this honor for the second time. I think I like it better this time, actually, because … but we did a good job. We had a great first term despite a lot of turmoil, caused unnecessarily. And, but the media is tamed down a little bit they’re, liking us much better now, I think, if they don’t, we’ll have to just take them on again and we don’t want to do that. But I do want to thank Time magazine. I’ve been on the cover many times. I don’t know who has a record, but I can only probably talk well, about 25% of the covers, 25% are great. The others I just sort of hide. But it’s been an honor. And every time it’s an honor, I will tell you and thank you very much for doing it.'
