In reply to the discussion: Trump: I turned down Time's 'Person of the Year' [View all]maddiemom
(5,213 posts)47. Who brings up (or tweets) that kind of info?
Oh, right, Donald Trump. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone "turning down being named Time's Person of the Year." ( do they have that choice?) In other words, he didn't want to be shown as a runner-up to Taylor Swift, or whoever else, or was afraid (more likely) that this year's reasons would undermine and ridicule last year's reasons. Seriously, nine other presidents have been named twice (FDR three times). I doubt Dolt 45's reasons were that he didn't want to "be a hog" and accept the title twice. He DID want everyone to know he was in contention. Just another bizarre day in the life of DJT that we can all share...

The only way he would turn down a Time cover is if he had to share it with Bob Muellar. And even then...

Won't be. Mueller has been working, not making news. Trump has been making news and not working.

Could be. Ayatollah Khomeini got it; so did Hitler, a couple times.

I wish I could find something humorous in this. He needs therapy, and right now. Anyway....

Now when he doesn't get it, his supporters will believe Trump and attack Time.
