Time Magazine has notwithstanding to announce who 2017's Person of the Year will exist, but President Trump wants you to think it was probably going to be him — except he turned the magazine down.
Time Magazine chosen to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like terminal twelvemonth, but I would have to hold to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no skillful and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Time Magazine, still, is now essentially proverb that never happened. "The President is incorrect most how we choose Person of the Year," Time said in a tweet three hours after Trump'southward. "Fourth dimension does non comment on our choice until publication, which is December six."
Fourth dimension's Person of the Year is someone deemed to have had the almost significant impact on electric current events over the terminal year (and non, per common misunderstanding, a statement of approval for the named person). While the magazine's editorial board selects Person of the Yr, since 1998 it has besides held an online reader poll; this year's poll remains open until Dec. 3.

Suffice to say, social media users were extremely skeptical of Trump's statement long before Time Mag weighed in, with many tweeting what amounts to "aye, certain buddy" once again and again. Read on for a sampling.

I don't know who'll be Time's 2017 Person of the Yr, merely I must say it would be nice if Robert Mueller turns out to be Fourth dimension'southward 2018 Person of the Twelvemonth.

Notwithstanding others pointed out that the thought Time would non permit him to exist POTY unless he did a photo shoot and interview has no historical precedent. In fact, when Angela Merkel was named POTY the year earlier Trump, she did neither:
In 2015, much to Trump'southward chagrin, Fourth dimension named Angela Merkel the Person of the Year. Merkel didn't grant an interview or photo shoot. This suggests, contra Trump, the title isn't dependent on an interview/photo shoot picture show.twitter.com/2X4M2Ebcnb

Incidentally, hither's how Trump reacted to not being selected equally Person of the Yr in 2015.
I told you lot @Time Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite They picked person who is ruining Federal republic of germany

If Trump ends upward being 2017's Person of the Year, he'll be only the second person to be named ii years in a row. The first was Richard Nixon, who was POTY in 1971, and then shared the distinction with his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger in 1972. Nosotros'll have to look until December. 6 to find out if Trump will go his first chance to follow in Nixon'southward footsteps.
