TIME Magazine fired back at President Donald Trump’s earlier claim on Friday that he had turned down an offer to be named its “Person of the Year,” calling his assertion “incorrect.”
“The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year,” the magazine tweeted Friday night. “TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.”
Trump tweeted earlier in the day that he “took a pass” at the title after the magazine reached out to him, because he had to satisfy certain editorial obligations.
“Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year,” Trump said.
