00:00For the first time ever, President Donald Trump rang the bell here at the New York Stock Exchange.
00:05For the second time, Trump named Time Person of the Year.
00:08Time says the honor goes to the individual who, for better or worse, did the most to
00:13shape the world in the headlines over the past 12 months.
00:16And this year, it was, quote, not hard.
00:19Why?
00:20Well, in the words of writer Sam Jacobs from Time, quote, today, we are witnessing a resurgence
00:25of populism, a widening mistrust in the institutions that define the last century, and an eroding
00:31faith that liberal values will lead to better lives for most people.
00:36Trump is both agent and beneficiary of it all, for marshalling a comeback of historic
00:42proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American
00:48presidency and altering America's role in the world.
