No deal!
President Trump says he passed up a chance at Time magazine’s prestigious “Person of the Year” designation because the publication only said it would “probably” confer the honor.
“Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named ‘Man (Person) of the Year,’ like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!” Trump wrote on Twitter Friday.
Trump took the honor after winning the election last year, when the mag called him the “President of the Divided States of America.”
Time is conducting a poll through Dec. 3 asking readers who they’d like to see as this year’s honoree. Leading the pack is new heir to the Saudi throne Mohammed Bin Salman, has captured 20 percent of the vote. Trump is currently in second place with 5 percent.
His nemesis Hillary Clinton has 4 percent, but is trailing behind “The Dreamers” and the “#MeToo” movement to expose sex harassment.
Time did not respond to requests for comment.
