Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.
Trump is person of the year for 2024, yes. He was previously named person of the year as well. Putin, Stalin, Kruschev, Reagan, Nixon, Kissinger, and Giuliani have all been named person of the year, most multiple times.
Honestly, I didn't even catch that we were talking about NYT. I saw the parent comments about "person of the year", and went with it.
NYT is garbage, too. I've had them filtered out of search results with browser extensions for years. I miss RES, which filtered them out of Reddit as well. I haven't gotten around to figuring out block lists for Lemmy.
