Trump named Time Person of the Year 2024

Agency :

Donald Trump has been named Time magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year and is scheduled to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. EST.
This comes just months after he became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime in a Manhattan courtroom, located only blocks away from the NYSE, reports AP.
These developments highlight Trump’s complex relationship with New York and mark his transformation from a controversial former president, who denied his election defeat four years ago, to a president-elect who secured a decisive victory in November. Time’s editor-in-chief, Sam Jacobs, announced the selection on NBC’s Today show, describing Trump as the individual who “for better or worse, had the most influence on the news in 2024.” Trump is expected to appear on Wall Street for the ceremonial opening of the trading day, as confirmed by multiple anonymous sources familiar with his plans. This marks his first time participating in the NYSE tradition, which frequently features prominent figures from various industries.
