US President-elect scoops up award

US President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time Magazineโ€™s person of the year.

Trumpโ€™s first appearance on Time was in 1989. Since then, heโ€™s been on magazineโ€™s cover 10 times.

โ€œSo which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer,โ€ Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs wrote in a magazine essay.

โ€œFor reminding America that demagoguery feeds on despair and that truth is only as powerful as the trust in those who speak it, for empowering a hidden electorate by mainstreaming its furies and live-streaming its fears, and for framing tomorrowโ€™s political culture by demolishing yesterdayโ€™s, Donald Trump is Timeโ€™s 2016 Person of the Year,โ€ Gibbs wrote.
