If Time Magazine picks Trump as Person of the Year, will he ever STFU???

Can you imagine how even more shrill he would be?

I know people here will say things like "well, he now joins Hitler, Stalin, etc who have each shared that dubious honor..." "No one reads Time magazine anymore..."

But all his crazy supporters will see it as validation of their guy. You will see stories of the magazine selling out, extra printings of it, and DEFINITELY photos of stack upon stack on Trumps desk... "I am HUUUUUGE"


Looking at the short list Time announced yesterday, I can totally see them picking him and in a way they would be correct based on the usual criteria.

But, IMHO the impact of their choice could only further his political ambitions and worsen our already sorry state of political affairs here in the US.

People in the UK are trying to have petition drives to ban him from traveling to their country for hate speech violations, just like the Imans that Trumps loves to refer to.

And this guy is gonna be Person of the Year???

The guys who mostly and literally phones in his hate filled bullshit!!!

It would be like a crime against humanity to help fill that already over inflated ego even more.
