Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Actually, politics aside, the accompanying article appears very well written, thoughtful, retrospective, incisive; more focused on the successful campaign strategy than the individual.
Person of the Year (called Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the American news magazine and website Time featuring a person, group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the year".
The tradition dates back to 1927 when the magazine selected Charles Lindbergh as its ”Man of the Year.”
With the threat of retailation against news sources, and with the desire of Trump for exposure on the cover of Time, Time probably is hedging its bets for safety through any possible upcoming turmoil.

This is the type of thing that some of us find most disturbing.

mindlessly droning, while the criminal tong dismantles everything.
Controversial selections are not unprecedented:

Time Magazine

Wow. That certainly puts things in perspective.
Was surprised by Time magazine kissing up to Orange.
