Trump's tweet Friday afternoon follows an online readerss poll that shows Trump being outperformed by singer Taylor Swift and San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz for this year's honor. This year's winner will be announced on Dec. 6. Read more: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/361750-trump-i-turned-down-person-of-the-year-honor-over-photo-shoot

3. Just heard that on CNN.
|
Clearly it's a preemptive strike against the likelihood they'll pick someone else, something his ego couldn't stand. So he's all, "Oh, I got it last year so I really don't need it again, so that's fine with me, but of course they'd have given it it to me if I hadn't turned it down, since of course I am the most important person in the world, but since I told them I didn't want it this year they'll have to find someone else because they were only ever going to pick me and didn't even have a second choice figured out. Because of course it was always going to be me." |

Maybe President Duh Donald's real motive for the turndown is that it would be too embarrassing to lose to her!
As for Taylor Swift, she must be deploying her fan base to turn it into a popularity contest. The highlights of her year involve getting caught in a lie about song lyrics read to her by Kanye West, announcing she'd decided to put her songs into music streaming after her record label cut a deal that put everyone on her label into music streaming...and successfully took a groper to court!

Time awards Person of the Year to the person or people who most influenced the news, for good or evil.
The two most obvious ones are: Good? Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone, who invented Twitter. Evil? Kim Jong Un, who brought back public executions. (On edit: One of the people he had executed was his ex-girlfriend, who was shot for violating the pornography laws, not for writing the song "Excellent Horse-Like Lady."  |
