In addition to being elected as the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump can now claim one more title from 2016 — Time’s Person of the Year.

The announcement was made early Wednesday morning on the Today show.

“To be on the cover of Time as Person of the Year is a tremendous honor,” Trump told the Today show in an interview after the reveal.

The President-elect overcame several other finalists — including Hillary Clinton and Simone Biles — to nab Time’s coveted annual title.

It wasn’t a major shock for Trump to get the prestigious honor, as numerous past presidents — including Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama — were also named by the magazine as the Person of the Year. However, as Twitter user @EveryTrumpFan points out, past recipients of the award also included some less desirable people.

Yes, Adolf Hitler was a previous Person of the Year, as was Joseph Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini.

It’s a reminder naming Trump as the Person of the Year does not automatically imply that he was the best person of the year. As Time describes the honor, “[It’s] the person who had the greatest influence, for better or for worse, on the events of the year.”

For better or for worse…that’s something that will certainly be debatable.
