President-elect Donald Trump will be named this Thursday “Person of the Year” by Time magazine, a distinction that it grants him for the second time after it did so in 2016, according to media outlets such as CNN and Politico.
That is the reason why Trump has reserved tomorrow the ringing of the bell on Wall Street, which represents the opening of the stock market at 9:30 local time, since it will be a way to celebrate that award, according to unidentified sources. media.
It is not common for the same person to be recognized twice by Time magazine, but it is common for the publication to recognize presidents of the United States: presidents of the United States have been considered “Person of the Year” up to 13 times, including Joe Biden.
Time revealed several days ago its list of finalists for the award that it will announce tomorrow, and it included, in addition to Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, magnate Elon Musk, Vice President Kamala Harris and Princess Catherine of Wales.

Before being recognized in 2016, Trump had had unkind words for Time and its famous list, calling them “a joke and a publicity stunt for a soon-to-be-dead magazine,” but after his appearance in 2016 he radically changed his tone: “ “This means a lot to someone who, like me, grew up reading Time: it is a very important magazine,” he said then, as Politico recalls.
In addition to Person of the Year, Time has chosen Athlete of the Year (basketball player Caitlin Clark), Icon of the Year (singer Elton John) and CEO of the Year (Lisa Su, CEO of Advanced Micro Devices).
