President Donald Trump was named first runner-up in the annual contest, followed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Mr. Trump, who was named Person of the Year last year, tweeted last month that Time called to say he would probably be given the honors again this year. But the president said he “took a pass.”
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!
