Trump, Hitler, and You!

Since 1927, Time magazine has named a Person of the Year (Man of the Year until 1999).  This  annual issue features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year”.

Charles Lindberg was selected as the first Man of the Year (a great trivia question). The list contains   business tycoons, a couple Popes, Martin Luther King, Jr., most U.S. Presidents, world leaders including Queen Elizabeth II, Winston Churchill, and even Adolf Hitler (remember, the list is for better or for worse). 

This year’s winner is none other than President-elect Donald Trump. 

That’s a pretty big honor, right? But here’s the thing, Lindbergh, Mahatma Gandhi, Hitler, Mark Zuckerburgh, Trump, et al. have nothing on you.  Literally!  The fact is, you, yes you, can list “Time magazine’s Person of the Year, 2006” on your personal resume.  Because in 2006, You (representing individual content creators on the World Wide Web) were named Person of the Year. 


As Time magazine editor Lev Grossman described it, "It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes."

So, congratulation Donald J. Trump.  Welcome to our club!
