Time Drops Trump from the 100 Most Influential List, and Adds Some of His Enemies

This will be fun to watch. I wonder if TFG will accelerate his announcement for 2024 to prove that he is relevant. Such an announcement would in effect mean that TFG would have to shut down or have someone else manage his other super pacs

Trump is going to go fffffingg nuts. And that is the story here. There is nothing very newsworthy about Time dropping Trump from the 100 most influential people on Earth list.

Once one understands how Time breaks down the list and then reads who Time picked, it is clearly not a real list of the 100 most influential people on Earth. And Trump, as the leader of the Right wing movement in the most powerful and richest nation on Earth is absolutely one of the 100 most influential people. But Time’s breakdown makes the actual premise kind of silly and thus, again, the story is Trump’s reaction that you know is coming.

First of all, Keanu Reeves made the list, Barack Obama and Trump did not. That tells you a lot about what you need to know. Time breaks the list into categories and doing so automatically creates a disparity between real influence and influence in certain areas; The list is broken down into Artists, Innovators, Titans, Leaders, Icons, and Pioneers. Certainly top 100 people can come from any of those categories but given they all have approximately the same number of representatives… you get a situation where Keanu Reeves is on the list but Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Stacey Abrams, or – hell, Justin Trudeau, and Emmanuel Macron are not.

I think the person that will enrage Trump the most though, has to be Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General. Obviously she belongs on the list for many reasons. She’s the first Black woman to serve New York State’s attorney general, and her investigation into Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment claims is one of the things that led to his resignation. But let’s be real. The reason she’s on that list is because she knows Donald Trump is a criminal, and her investigation into his business dealings, might end up being the only justice Trump ever faces.

his "From the Desk of President Trump" missives and then his acolytes- who are still allowed on Twitter - post them there. He's found a way around his being banned.

Bans, rules, laws etc. do not apply to the Big Orange Pig and never have. He thumbs his nose at everyone because he's certain no one is more important than himself.

His chances of an actual Time Magazine cover are rapidly disappearing. He may have to resort to having more fake covers fabricated, just to impress his Mar-ma-lardo patrons and assuage his extremely fragile ego.

Trump is painfully, stupidly influential in this country. We would be in much better shape if he truly wasn't one of the top 100 influencers.

It is so predictable that anyone can write it.

"Failing Time magazine. Such a shame. Maybe was a good magazine once."

"Left wing fake media supports Biden, the fake president."
