    Don’t they do that for each President?

    LOL - Wiki has Trump already:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year

    2024 - Trump
    2020 - Biden/Harris
    2016 - Trump
    2012 - Obama
    2008 - Obama
    2004 - W. Bush
    2000 - W. Bush
    1996 - David Ho. Clinton/Ken Starr got it in 1998.
    1992 - Clinton
    1988 - The Endangered Earth, H.W. Bush got it in 1990.
    1984 - Peter Uberoth, Reagan in 1983.
    1980 - Reagan
    1976 - Carter
    1972 - Nixon/Kissinger, Nixon also 1971
    1968 - Apollo 8 Astronauts
    1964 - Johnson, Also 1967
    1960 - U.S. Scientists, Kennedy 1961

    Seems like each President gets 1 per term. Nixon is the only one pulling it back to back. '71/'72 after having been skipped in '68.

    Johnson is the only 1 term president to get it twice because, obviously, he finished Kennedy’s term.
