Donald Trump, “personality of the year”, according to Time magazine

After Barack Obama, Pope Francis, or Angela Merkel last year, Time magazine has named the next president of the United States, Donald Trump, “Person of the Year 2016”. A logical choice according to many observers, as the character of the winner of the US presidential election has captured all eyes throughout the year.

It is a character “unconventional” capable of the worst , like … the worst . But Donald Trump has succeeded, and in January will become the 45th president of the United States. Whoever succeed Barack Obama in the White House is, like its predecessor, being elected “Personality of the Year” by the influential US magazine Time.
Last year, it was Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, who had to take charge of the file of the refugee crisis, which had the honor of writing the Atlantic. A year later, so Trump! Have the times changed? Not at all! The American newspaper has awarded this prize since 1927, to the person who had the greatest influence, ” for better or for worse” .
To the editor of Time, Nancy Gibbs, this distinction can be double-edged for the billionaire. ” E st-will it be better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is that the country is in deep disagreement on the answer .” So much so that a magazine evokes the one who won the presidential election deal with Hilary Clinton as the ” President of the United States disunited ” .
In the columns of the magazine, we read this short text summarizing the reasons for the choice of the US magazine.
“To have reminded America that demagoguery feeds on hopelessness and that truth is only for the trust placed in them that state, for giving confidence to an electorate hidden by channeling his anger and spreading fears , for having outlined the political culture of demolishing tomorrow than yesterday, Donald Trump is the personality of the year 2016. ”
The main interest reacted to this distinction, a US television network. “It is a great honor, it means a lot. ” Hillary Clinton , his former rival, comes second, proof that the US election truste votes in American writing.
Some scoffers users, including actress Alyssa Milano , noted that the “M” Time gave the face of the future president “the devil’s horns.”
