Donald Trump continues to dominate the political landscape, recently being named Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year,” a title with a mixed history. Among previous winners like Taylor Swift and Greta Thunberg, Trump’s recognition stands as a testament to his overwhelming success in 2024—a year that was truly his own. Despite being pitted against notable figures like Kamala Harris and others, it was Trump who emerged victorious, solidifying his status among the political elite in a way that is as undeniable as it is comical.
Reviewing Trump’s 2024 campaign is like watching a highlight reel of a championship season. He skillfully outmaneuvered the Democrats, left them reeling with his political prowess, and triumphed without ever stepping into a debate ring against his GOP rivals. Trump’s sole debate against President Biden was so one-sided that it sent Biden packing from the nomination. Between dodgeballing and media appearances, Trump managed to snag the presidency again, turning his campaign into a spectacle that rivals a blockbuster hit.
Time Magazine, in its attempt to crown Trump with this honor, was not adding anything groundbreaking to the conversation. Instead, they were merely acknowledging a fact everyone with functioning eyes could see: Trump was a force of nature throughout the year. His presidency in 2024 was like watching a mountain bulldoze through a series of rolling hills. The Democrats tried everything to oppose him, but much like little children forced to go to bed, they eventually tired out, leaving Trump alone as the only adult in the room.
The backdrop of Trump’s announcement included an engaging sit-down interview in Mar-a-Lago. This contrasted sharply with the media’s hostile attitude when he first took office eight years ago. Now, Trump has consistently stayed on the offensive, effectively exhausting his adversaries into submission. The “Resistance” has all but collapsed, and what remains is a bewildered and defeated Democrat front struggling to pick up the pieces.

Despite the accolades, the media will inevitably spin Trump’s successes as lucky or opportunistic. However, much like history’s great figures—Columbus, Napoleon, and Alexander—Trump’s achievements are products of his unique character and tenacity. He has demonstrated that when one stands firm and does not back down, potential adversaries may wither away. Interestingly, Trump even had time to toss in a shift at McDonald’s, reminding everyone that he remains relatable—an everyman amidst his historic achievements.
While Time Magazine’s declaration isn’t exactly front-page news, Trump’s interview included notable positions on key issues like Iran relations and the migrant crisis, where he showed he hasn’t lost his touch in gauging public sentiment. Ultimately, 2024 continues to belong to Trump, a reality that resonates with a significant portion of the American populace as they seek logic and common sense in leadership. In a landscape muddied by chaos, it is clear that Donald Trump stands out as not just a political figure but a cultural icon, unwavering amid the storm.
