Time magazine on Wednesday named US president-elect Donald Trump its Person of the Year.
“It’s a great honour. It means a lot,” Trump said in a telephone interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
The magazine’s managing editor, Nancy Gibbs, said on the program that Democrat Hillary Clinton was the No. 2 finalist. Gibbs said the choice of Trump this year was “straightforward”.
The Manhattan real estate magnate went from the fiery underdog in the race for the GOP presidential nomination to president-elect when he defeated Clinton in the November 8 election.

Trump tweeted moments before the announcement on NBC that “I will be interviewed on the @TODAYshow at 7:30. Enjoy!”
Trump won 306 electoral votes, easily enough to make him president when the electors meet on December 19. Clinton won the popular vote.
Trump has begun the process of preparing for his presidency and filling Cabinet posts.
