I don't claim to have insight on what Time is thinking this time around. One notable difference is that in 1938, the magazine repeatedly clarified that its featuring of Hitler was not an endorsement, but rather was awarded to "the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse.”

@briankrebs
Trump's "influence" is fascism" so applying that 'most influenced' criteria is appropriate, they should add that to the cover. -

@briankrebs This year, they're just hoping to stay out of one of Trump's KZs for a few extra months.

@briankrebs Is there any excuse for news outlets naming mass murderous assholes "Person of the Year"?
I don't think so!

@briankrebs Maybe they shouldn't boost incredible narcissists into the spotlight, for whichever reason they're doing it.
