Time Magazine Has Named Donald Trump As Its Person Of The Year

Time magazine has named its person of the year as Donald Trump.

Going with the strapline 'President of the Divided States of America', the publication announced its annual award earlier today.

Time's person of the year is awarded to the person, or occasionally group of people, who had a major impact on the news agenda, whether that's for better or worse.

Trump beat the likes of Beyonce, Nigel Farage and US gymnast Simone Biles, as well as once again beating Hillary Clinton, who all made the shortlist.

He now joins the likes of Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II, Mark Zuckerberg, Adolf Hitler, and last year's choice, Angela Merkel.

To be fair, I think Trump is perfect choice to sum up 2016.

Speaking about the news, Trump said: "It's a great honour. It means a lot."
