SUMMARY
President Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s "Person of the Year" for 2024, marking the second time he has received the honor, previously earning it in 2016 following his presidential election victory. To celebrate the announcement, Trump is slated to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Time will officially reveal its selection on Dec. 12, although the magazine has declined to confirm details in advance. The annual recognition profiles individuals who have had a major impact on global events. Trump joins 13 other U.S. presidents, including Joe Biden, as recipients. Past winners range from Winston Churchill to Angela Merkel. Trump has frequently expressed his fascination with magazine covers, particularly Time. While he once criticized the list as a "joke," he later called the honor a “great privilege.” Trump has been featured on Time's cover three times in 2024 alone.
