US president-elect\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0has been named Time Person of the Year 2016. \u00a0To be on the cover of Time as Person of the Year is a tremendous honor,” Trump told .<\/div>\n

Every year, TIME editors select the person \u2014 or idea \u2014 who has most influenced the news and the world in the past year, for good or ill.<\/p>\n

“So which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer,” TIME managing editor Nancy Gibbs wrote in a magazine essay.<\/p>\n

Trump beat out\u00a010 other finalists, including his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton<\/a>. TIME declared Clinton their runner-up, and she was also the top pick among \u00a0viewers.<\/p>\n

“For reminding America that demagoguery feeds on despair and that truth is only as powerful as the trust in those who speak it, for empowering a hidden electorate by mainstreaming its furies and live-streaming its fears, and for framing tomorrow\u2019s<\/span><\/span>political culture by demolishing yesterday\u2019s, Donald Trump is TIME\u2019s 2016 Person of the Year,” Gibbs wrote.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s recipient was German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Trump was a runner-up. The year before that, 2014, the Person of the Year were the Ebola fighters.<\/p>\n

The magazine has made the designation every year since 1927, when aviator Charles Lindbergh was chosen as the first Man of the Year. The title was amended to Person of the Year in 1999.<\/p>\n

Over its history, TIME has bestowed the title to many presidents, political leaders and industry trailblazers who often view the designation as an honor.<\/p>\n

\u00a0However, the magazine also has selected notorious recipients in the past, including Adolf Hitler in 1938, Joseph Stalin in 1939 and 1942, and Iran\u2019s Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, because of the impact they had on the world at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
