Time magazine has named President-elect Donald J. Trump its Person of the Year for 2016, calling him the “president of the divided states of America.”
Trump was not happy about that title, but called his selection a “tremendous honor.”
Trump beat out 10 other finalists, including Hillary Clinton; Simone Biles, the Olympic gymnast; Beyoncé; Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook; and the Flint, Michigan whistle-blowers - the residents and civil engineers who sounded the alarm on lead-poisoned water in the city.
The magazine’s number two Person of the Year was Mrs. Clinton.
This is the 90th time they've named the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year.
Last year’s recipient was German Chancellor Angela Merkel, while Donald Trump was a runner-up.
In 2014, the Person of the Year title was given to the Ebola fighters.
