Time Magazine recognizes Donald Trump for his significant impact on American politics and global relations, marking his second time receiving the honor.
This year's award selection process highlighted candidates including Vice President Kamala Harris and Tesla's Elon Musk, but ultimately, editors awarded Trump for mobilizing voters and achieving a notable victory in the electoral landscape. Despite past controversies—including a recent conviction for fraud—Trump's re-election marks a historic moment as he becomes the oldest individual to serve as President of the United States.
Discussing his plans for a second term, Trump emphasized reforming the immigration system and took time in April to share his thoughts with Time during interviews for the feature. His previous criticisms of the magazine's selections have not hindered his acknowledgment of the honor, which he expressed meant a great deal to him since childhood.
