Donald Trump Named “Person of the Year,” Follows Up with NYSE Appearance

In a powerful rebuke to the liberal establishment, TIME Magazine has officially named Donald Trump their “Person of the Year” for 2024, making him one of the rare figures in history to receive this prestigious recognition twice.

The announcement sent shockwaves through Washington as Trump secured victory over an elite list of finalists, including Vice President Kamala Harris and tech mogul Elon Musk.

“Time Magazine, getting this honor for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually,” Trump declared, showcasing the confident leadership that first earned him the award in 2016.

The recognition places Trump in a prestigious circle of two-time honorees and highlights his enduring influence on American politics and culture. But the TIME recognition was just the beginning for him this week.

From Breitbart:
President-elect Donald Trump just can’t stop winning. On Thursday he rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange as he was confirmed TIME Magazine’s “Person of the Year” and was met by cheers and applause from the trading floor as well as cries of “USA… USA.”…

Before he rang the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. Trump spoke at the exchange and called it “a tremendous honor.”

“Time Magazine, getting this honor for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually,” he said.

Trump Rings the Bell

In a historic follow-up that perfectly symbolized America’s yearning for conservative leadership, Trump stepped onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, where seasoned financial professionals spontaneously erupted in chants of “USA! USA!” as he prepared to ring the opening bell.

The scene was particularly meaningful given its historical echo. The last president to perform this honor was Ronald Reagan in 1985, when he famously declared his intention to “turn the bull loose” on the American economy.

Nearly four decades later, Trump’s presence carried that same promise of economic revival.

“I think we’re going to have a tremendous run,” Trump told the energized crowd of traders and market professionals. “We have to straighten out some problems, some big problems in the world.”

He then outlined his vision for expedited federal permits and reduced regulations on major infrastructure projects – a direct contrast to the bureaucratic gridlock that has characterized the Biden administration’s approach.

Donald Just Keeps Winning

The significance of Trump’s NYSE appearance extends beyond ceremony. Since the 1880s, the exchange has been the beating heart of American capitalism.

Despite his decades as a successful New York businessman, this was Trump’s first time ringing the opening bell, a moment that merged his private-sector expertise with his public-service legacy.

The enthusiasm from Wall Street professionals – who understand the real-world impact of economic policies – spoke volumes.

Their spontaneous patriotic display echoed the optimism of the Reagan years when America last experienced such a decisive return to prosperity through conservative leadership.

A Return to American Excellence

“We’re going to turn the bull loose again,” Trump promised, deliberately echoing Reagan’s historic words. “America’s best economic days are ahead of us, not behind us.”

As Trump continues to accumulate victories and accolades, the message becomes increasingly clear: America is ready for a return to the principles that sparked its greatest periods of prosperity – free market capitalism, reduced regulation, and bold leadership that puts American interests first.

The combination of TIME’s recognition and Wall Street’s enthusiastic reception sends an unmistakable signal about the direction our nation is heading.

With these twin victories, Trump has once again demonstrated why he remains the standard-bearer for conservative values and American excellence.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump joins elite group as two-time TIME Person of the Year, beating Harris and global leaders.
  • Wall Street traders spontaneously break into “USA” chants, echoing Reagan-era enthusiasm.
  • Trump’s NYSE moment signals a return to pro-business, anti-regulation conservative leadership.
  • Double victory demonstrates growing momentum for a conservative comeback in 2024.
