Don Lemon sour over Trump as Time’s Person of the Year: ‘What are you doing?’ – Washington Examiner
in a recent episode of his show, Don Lemon, a former CNN anchor, expressed his disappointment regarding Time magazine’s decision to name Donald Trump as its Person of the Year for 2024. Lemon criticized the choice, questioning whether Time considered its female readership in this decision. He reflected on the relevance of magazines in today’s society, suggesting that they may not retain their influence as they once did. Furthermore, he advocated for the magazine to recognise individuals who symbolize democratic values instead of selecting Trump.
Don Lemon sour over Trump as Time’s Person of the Year: ‘What are you doing?’
Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was very upset with Time magazine naming President-elect Donald Trump as the magazine’s annual Person of the Year, asking if the magazine took into consideration its women readers.
Lemon made his comments on his show, The Don Lemon Show, questioning if magazines “even matter anymore” following its award to Trump. He added that the magazine should have given the award to “any person” who “stands for democracy,” adding that winning the presidential election does not automatically make someone worthy of Time’s annual title.
“Time magazine, what are you doing?” Lemon asked. “Let me ask you, Time magazine: what do you say to the women who, I guess, still read Time magazine? Or the women who are — don’t they do a whole Time 100 thing or something, which … what about the women who are on that list? What about them? I’m sure some of them have dealt with issues that women have to deal with like discrimination in workplace, SA, all kinds of things.”
Lemon added that the magazine granted its title to someone who attempted to “overturn a free and fair election” and that “a convicted felon” was on the magazine’s cover. He then joked that “maybe we’re being scammed” about Trump winning the title.
About who could have won the title instead, Lemon pitched the idea of naming Hunter Biden as Person of the Year since “Hunter got out of a lot of stuff, too.”
Trump’s win as Time’s Person of the Year marks the second time he has won the title, the first being in 2016. Other nominees for this year’s award included Vice President Kamala Harris, X owner Elon Musk, podcast host Joe Rogan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton.

Thursday, Trump also rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange, marking the first time he had the honors in his hometown of New York City. Trump’s Person of the Year magazine cover was projected on the NYSE floor along with American flags, as “USA” chants proceeding Trump’s bell ringing were heard.
