Donald Trump is TIME's Person of the Year 2016

This is the 90th 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.

Who was Time's Man of the Year in 1938?

I'm happy for him but it says president of the divided states of American. They still find a way to jab at him. This man achieved a great task against all odds, and they still can't give him the credit he deserves.

Divided states of America? Totally disrespectful.

Adolf Hitler was Man of the Year in 1938, before the war began in earnest. He was certainly on everyone's mind as he turned the German government on its ear and pulled the economy up from ashes. What he did next was inexcusable, a product of radicalism, not unlike some we see all around us today, but in smaller doses.

Hitler was also a left wing Socialist that was against gun ownership religion and free speech just like today's Democrats.
