Relevant to this case ; we know he has lied before by faking those Time covers among other things so his credibility here is nonexistent.
We have no proof of Time lying since they understand far better than POTUS why it is stupid to do so when you can be fact checked and called liar with minimal research.
Time Mag gathers potential names, contacts the names on their short list to see if they would agree to photos and interview, from those that agree, the editors make the selection, before the name is publicly announced by the mag. and the mag printed and sold. IF a person does not agree, they are no longer in consideration.
The same happened in 2004, when both Michael Moore and Mel Gibson agreed to share the "person of the year", where by both had to agree to an interview and photos. Mel changed his mind, thus neither were interviewed or photographed or were on the cover of the mag.
The point of the mag to make that particular issue ie "person of the year", necessarily requires the person selected to agree to be interviewed and photo shoot. Of course they contact the potential persons ahead of time to see IF they would agree to the photo shoot and interview.
Rarely, if ever, is a US President not on the list of names to consider. And of course they would require him to agree to participating in the interview and photo shoot.
Trump knows the routine, and wasn't interested this year to be considered.
What is the big deal?
That he was NOT contacted?
Article;
"Time Magazine called"...Trump said
"Later Friday evening, Time disputed the president's claim, tweeting that he "is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year."
Where is the President "tweet" of "HOW a person is chosen"?
What the President said is that he was called, and was not interested.
Where is the President "tweet" of "HOW a person is chosen"?
It is not a mystery - a person is chosen by the editors of Time Magazine.
And the person selected has to agree to the terms.....a photo shoot and interview.
Where is the President "tweet" of "HOW a person is chosen"?
God Bless,
