"President of the DIVIDED States of America"????? LOL!
I never knew that TIME was actually that old, let alone that Hitler was ever picked as "Man/Person of the year". Of course.... It's a title that denotes neither good nor bad if you look at the name alone... Just trying to me it make sense... 😁

Right! Time’s Person (formerly Man) of the Year is a designation that denotes significance, not approval.

Or as Time itself puts it: a person, group, idea, or object that “for better or worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year

Others who have been chosen: Stalin, Putin, even “you” (a cheeky pick for content creators in the internet age; that pick was way back in 2006!).

The creator of the top meme (a repost) didn’t understand any of this.

Also, Time Magazine is just a magazine. One of many. Generally speaking, Time has a pretty wide readership but it’s far from hard-hitting journalism. You’ll never hear about Time breaking a critical story or of publishing an essay that changed the world. It’s not like Time pulls the strings behind the curtain or anything. Lol.

Indeed, from that perspective both Hitler and Trump were correct choices, since whether you see them as good or evil, they did have a lot of influence to the world. Both good and bad actually. I mean, when we look at Hitler, yes the Holocaust was bad, but thanks to the same man medical science made a lot of improvements (although the way how this medical knowledge was obtained is questionable at best, I must admit that, but we do benefit from that today, cruel as it may seem). Trump, when we talk about how he handles the world as a whole, and not just the United States, did many things that are not really that good.... At the same time, Europe did rely on "father U.S." too much, and has to learn to stand on its own as a union... although they still refuse to do that (people are still stubborn) great improvements has been made ... It's a bit sad it took an incompetent U.S. president to make the European leaders realize that and take some steps, but still, it is an improvement.... Still a long way to go, though....
