Trump announced “Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year” and people are taking the piss
President-elect Donald Trump has been awarded Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year, which is arguably fair enough as it’s not a statement of merit but of influence and there’s no question he’s had a lot of influence this year.
Also Time Magazine want to sell magazines and this will sell them. Nigel Farage wasn’t going to make Americans buy magazines was he?
Anyway, it’s been a brilliant excuse to take the piss and here’s the best 9 bits of pure urine extraction.

Trump being Time's Person of the Year doesn't seem so ludicrous when you remember Mrs Brown's Boys was once voted best sitcom of the century

Clinton is now the first woman to ever take second in both TIME's Person of the Year contest AND a US presidential election. History made!

Of course Donald Trump is the Time Person of the year. He's got a big round face & little hands.

And let’s not forget this tweet from Trump himself where he disparages the magazine because he didn’t win this a few years ago:
The Time Magazine list of the 100 Most Influential People is a joke and stunt of a magazine that will, like Newsweek,soon be dead. Bad list!
