In a TV special this evening, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year, a first for a winning Presidential ticket (Bruce Springsteen made the announcement). The other finalists were frontline health care workers and Dr. Anthony Fauci (whom we expected to win), the movement for racial justice, and, perversely, unhinged demagogue and con man Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump. TIME's description of finalist Trump was less than complimentary:
"Similar to every year he’s been in office, Trump’s had an immense influence on 2020. His Administration has been highly criticized for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since losing the election, he’s baselessly claimed that there was fraud and falsely said that he’s the winner."
Any of the choices other than him would have set Trump off, but the selection of Biden and Harris will enrage him.
