People Made Their Own Versions Of The Time ‘Person Of The Year’ Cover And They’re All Better Choices Than Trump
Donald Trump has been weirdly obsessed with Time‘s “Person of the Year” award to the point where he claimed the magazine pretty much already offered him the honor already — though the publication insists otherwise.
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!

It’s a pretty dumbass comment for Trump to make, but it definitely drew some attention to the award as people discussed who would make a better Person of the Year than the POTUS — and trust me, that’s a lot of people. In fact, Twitter decided to take the honor into their own hands.
It all started when Buzzfeed‘s AM to DM show asked fans to “have at it” with their own version of the Time cover.

Let’s just say that it didn’t take long for people to get creative.

And because this is Twitter, things took an obscure turn fast.
