Donald Trump: Time’s Person of the Year 2024 – A Triumphant Comeback

(By Molina and Maqueda from Miami) In an unexpected yet not surprising twist, Time magazine has named Donald Trump its Person of the Year for 2024, marking his second recognition after his first victory in the 2016 presidential elections. This designation arrives at a pivotal moment, as the former president has managed to re-emerge in the U.S. political landscape, surpassing Kamala Harris and becoming the first Republican candidate in two decades to win the popular vote. The significance of this event lies not only in Trump’s persona but also in the impact his return has on both national and international politics.

The Impact of the Designation

"Time annually selects the figure who has most shaped the headlines and the course of the world, for better or for worse." This year, the magazine highlighted Trump for "leading a comeback of historic proportions" and for "remodeling the U.S. presidency." This recognition is not just a title; it reflects how his influence has recalibrated the current political landscape.




An Unprecedented Comeback

"Since he began campaigning for the presidency in 2015, perhaps no individual has played a more significant role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump." His ability to connect with diverse segments of the population, from African American voters to suburban women, is a testament to his adaptability and resonance with the electorate.




Relevant Data



Ethnic Support: Trump garnered the highest percentage of African American voters for a Republican since Gerald Ford.

Latino Vote: He achieved historic levels of Latino support, surpassing his predecessors.

 




The Trump Era: A Paradigmatic Shift

"Today, we are witnessing a resurgence of liberal ideas and growing distrust in the institutions that defined the last century." This statement encapsulates the current sentiment of many voters who feel disconnected from traditional power structures. Trump has skillfully capitalized on this distrust, transforming it into electoral support.



A Stormy Relationship with Time

Trump’s relationship with Time has been ambivalent. "After being named Person of the Year in 2016, he described the magazine as a 'very important' publication." However, his reactions to characterizations of his presidency have often been defensive. In the past, Trump has criticized how he is portrayed in the magazine.



An Uncertain Yet Promising Future

Donald Trump’s designation as Person of the Year 2024 not only underscores his resurgence in U.S. politics but also raises questions about the future of the country. "We are on the cusp of a new political era, where liberalism (the libertarianism of Milei, the Argentine president, and Musk's ideas) and distrust in institutions dominate the landscape." This phenomenon is not exclusive to the United States; it reflects global trends that warrant analysis and respond to a significant lack of self-critique regarding leftist ideas, statism, and the denial of rampant state corruption across various countries (including severe cases like Venezuela), as well as the proliferation of a spending culture, mediocrity, and the consequent exaggeration of minority agendas lacking contextual coherence and empirical rigor.
