Yes, Donald Trump wasn’t named Time‘s Person Of The Year.
But he came pretty damn close — and that’s so not okay. This is the stance that Demi Lovato has taken following the release of the celebrated mag’s Person Of The Year issue.

As we previously reported, Time chose to honor “Silence Breakers” this year as it featured prominent women who’ve taken a stand against sexual assault — including Ashley Judd, Taylor Swift, etc. Sadly, POTUS came awfully close to nabbing the prestigious title as he landed himself in the runner-up position.
This has, understandably, ruffled a few feathers as the Commander-In-Chief has been hit with sexual misconduct allegations from 16 women. Please note that the Trumpster has denied the claims and dubbed them “fake news.” Yeah okay, bro.
Lovato was one of the prominent voices who criticized the mag as, on Wednesday, the former Disney darling wrote:
Time mag highlights brave women coming forward against sexual assault on the cover but names a man with sexual assault allegations against him runner up to person of the year.. Really @TIME? #hypocrites

I├óΓé¼Γäóve become less vocal about my distain for certain people over the past year because it only divides our country even more but this is worth speaking up about. @TIME mag – very disappointed in your hypocrisy and disrespect toward the women on your cover.

To be named POTY by @TIME it should be for doing something positive or brave LIKE the women on the cover. It’s annoying that it’s just about impact on the news.
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) December 7, 2017
We mean, Demi DOES make a good point. Nonetheless, the stance of the magazine is that the POTY title goes to the person or group that influenced news and/or events of the past year. Whether it’s for “better or worse.”
What do YOU think? Do you agree with Demi??
