title:  WATCH: Trump Is Now Criticizing Time’s ‘Person Of The Year’ As Being ‘Politically Correct’
text: Even though former reality show star turned president-elect Donald Trump lost the popular vote by 2.6 million, the alleged billionaire became the recipient of the title Person of the Year, courtesy of Time magazine. But, you know, it s been that kind of year where nothing makes sense anymore. On Thursday, while Trump was on his  thank you  tour, he bragged about his award but criticized the title as  politically correct  because of course. I was lucky enough to receive the Time Person of the Year,  Trump said in Des Moines, Iowa.  They used to call it  Man of the Year,  but they can t do that anymore, so they call it  person.  They want to be politically correct. That s OK. Trump previously predicted he would never win the title and slammed Time magazine for giving it to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who became only the fourth woman to grace Time s cover with the award.The Huffington Post reports:Time originally called its annual feature on what the magazine considers the year s most influential person  Man of the Year.  It changed the title to  Person of the Year  in 1999, even though several women won the honor before then, beginning with Wallis Simpson in 1936, who was given the title  Woman of the Year. On NBC s Today Show, Trump said,  To be on the cover of Time magazine as the person of the year is a tremendous honor. Well, his attitude sure changes like the wind.Watch:Trump named TIME's "Person of the Year," promptly criticizes them for not calling it "Man of the Year" pic.twitter.com/el1EkJ4byh  Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) December 9, 2016 Although the title fed Trump s massive ego for a New York minute, Time called him,  President of the Divided States  next to his photo on the cover and the president-elect took issue with that. When you say divided states of America, I didn t divide them,  Trump said.  They re divided now. I think putting divided is snarky, but again, it s divided. I m not president yet. So I didn t do anything to divide. It s interesting that Trump slammed Time magazine on his  thank you  tour while being an ingrate.Image via screen capture.
