Despite his frequent criticism of the media, Trump was given the honor for the second time Thursday, AzVision.az reports, citing The Independent.
The president-elect previously earned the esteemed title in 2016, after he was first elected president.
“Trump’s political rebirth is unparalleled in American history. His first term ended in disgrace, with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results culminating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol,” the magazine wrote.
“He spent six weeks during the general election in a New York City courtroom, the first former President to be convicted of a crime—a fact that did little to dampen his support,” the article continued.
On Thursday, Trump will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, a stone’s throw from the courthouse where a jury convicted him earlier this year.
After surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, “he beat not one but two Democratic opponents, swept all seven swing states, and became the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years. He has realigned American politics, remaking the GOP and leaving Democrats reckoning with what went awry,” the magazine wrote. “If America was craving change, it is about to see how much Trump can deliver.”
He defeated a formidable shortlist of candidates: Vice President Kamala Harris, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, widow of Alexei Navalny Yulia Navalnaya, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell, podcaster Joe Rogan and Mexico’s first female president Claudia Sheinbaum.
