TIME MAG PERSON OF THE YEAR

[Love Child]

Carsman also mentioned this in the Trump for President thread.

The 2016 Person of the Year is..................Donald Trump. Quite rightly, in my opinion. I don't see how the award could really have gone to anyone else considering the media exposure and the domestic and global political impact of Trump in 2016.



This is the 90^th time we have named the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year. So which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer.

It’s hard to measure the scale of his disruption. This real estate baron and casino owner turned reality-TV star and provocateur—never a day spent in public office, never a debt owed to any interest besides his own—now surveys the smoking ruin of a vast political edifice that once housed parties, pundits, donors, pollsters, all those who did not see him coming or take him seriously. Out of this reckoning, Trump is poised to preside, for better or worse. Full story: http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-...ttonrecirc

I liked reading about how the picture was done for the cover of Time.

The brilliance of the chair however, is visual rather than historical. It’s a gaudy symbol of wealth and status, but if you look at the top right corner, you can see a rip in the upholstery, signifying Trump’s own cracked image.

Once we notice the rip, the splotches on the wood come into focus, the cracks in Trump’s makeup, the thinness of his hair, the stain on the bottom left corner of the seat –  the entire illusion of grandeur begins to collapse.


I can copy/paste the whole thing if anyone is interested or who hasn't read it. The article also mentions the placement of the "M" in Time makes it appear as if the Donald has devil horns.
