Times always chooses the election winner as person of the year. This isn't some honorific, they've done it for decades.

They've selected horrible people as "person of the year" in times past. It's about impact, and there's no denying that Donald Trump has given rise to a gigantic cult of personality and amplified/emboldened/propelled the worst people in societies around the globe.

The impact he's had on the world is immense and terrible.
