Twitter Users Claps Back At President Donald Trump After He Alleged That He Declined "Time Magazine Man Of The Year"
In a tweet Friday, the president took time from his busy schedule of getting absolutely nothing from his agenda done to make a bold claim about rejecting the magazine's honor for 2017.
Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!84.1K people are talking about this
Twitter responded to the claim with a collective sigh and GIF of Ron Burgundy saying, "I don't believe you." Because, let's be real, just about the only predictable thing about Trump is that he'll do anything that makes him feel important. I mean, this is the guy who hung up a fakecover of him winning Time's Person of the Year award.
(Trump shares the honor of Person of the Year — which is determined by impact and not popularity — with other historically significant figures like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. This year, though, initial polling had both the #MeToo campaign and mayor of San Juan, Carmen YulÃn Cruz, beating Trump.)
CNN correspondent Brian Stetler said he reached out to Time for comment on Trump's claim, adding that "this sounds like part of the normal Person of the Year production process." They often do shoots with former winners, which is probably what they actually called the president about.
A former managing editor at Time supported this analysis:
Hate to tell you but that PROBABLY means you’re NOT Person of the Year. They just wanted a photo shoot. But I’m sure you still have that fake TIME cover somewhere in storage. twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…
Trump’s ridiculously petty attempt to dump Time before Time could dump him sparked a barrage of satirical imitators.
Idris Elba called to say he would probably agree to date me but I said probably is no good and took a pass! twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…
Others captured just how battle-hardened we've become to Trump's Twitter bullshit in the long, long year since he was first named Person of the Year.
This Tweet is so sad. Imagine being super rich, President of the United States, and still being so needy for approval twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…
But, in our opinion, the most likely theory came from comedian Aparna Nancherla, who fixed the confusion by correcting yet another one of Trump's typo-laden mistakes.
Well, bud, there's always next year!
