Donald Trump became Time magazine's 2016 Person of the Year. It is one of the most prestigious titles, but more than this decision of the American magazine, the cover with Trump's image is upsetting, on which the designers skillfully placed the letter M above the head of the future president of the 'Divided States of America', as they wrote in the title that he got roses. A devil in disguise?
Donald Trump was declared personality of the year 2016 by selection of the American magazine Time, who succeeded the German chancellor Angela Merkel, who became the first female winner of this award after almost 30 years of fasting (the selection is ongoing since 1927).
This one is on prestigious title, which goes to the person or idea that currently has the greatest impact, responded by saying: ”It is a very very great honor.” “This is the 90th time we have named the person who had the greatest influence - good or bad - on the events of the year. Which is this year – good or bad?” she reflected in the magazine Nancy Gibbs, editor-in-chief of the magazine. The magazine highlights Trump's surprising election. "When have we seen an individual who defied expectations in such a way, broke the rules, trampled on the norms and defeated not only one, but two political parties on the way to winning an election for which he had almost zero chance?"

As if Donald Trump wasn't already raising enough dust, Time magazine skillfully played with his portrait and the letter M from the title of the magazine, which resembles little flowers. On purpose or by accident? We'll probably never know. This time there were more in the shortlist for personality of the year Hillary Clinton, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and a singer Beyoncé. In the past, Time's personalities of the year included the British Queen Elizabeth II, Mark Zuckerberg, Adolf Hitler, Nelson Mandela, John F. Kennedy, Lech Wałęsa, computer, Barack Obama, peacekeepers, whistleblowers, and in 2006 the personality of the year was all of us (“You”).
