The most anticipated magazine cover of the year has finally been released. On Wednesday morning, Time Magazine revealed their annual Person of the Year, and after many speculations ranging from President Obama to Simone Biles, this year's 2016 subject is none other than President-Elect Donald Trump.
Time's runner-up for person of the year is also the election's runner-up, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the short list includes The Hackers, Beyoncé, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and The CRISPR pioneers.
The controversial decisions have lead to an abundance of reactions on social media. Some people took the time to congratulate Trump while others decided to take a, well, different approach.
You do see that it says Divided on the cover & not United, right? It's really not a good thing. He also has devil horns!December 7, 2016
