Politico reported:
Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” — and to celebrate the unveiling of the cover, the president-elect will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the plans granted anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the plans.
Last year, pop superstar Taylor Swift was recognized. To mark the magazine cover reveal, Time CEO Jessica Sibley rang the opening bell.
Trump was also named Time Person of the Year in 2016 after he won the presidential election. He joins 13 other U.S. presidents who have received the recognition, including President Joe Biden.
A short list for Time Person of the Year was announced Monday on NBC’s “The Today Show” and included Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Time already announced NBA star Caitlin Clark as Athlete of the Year, Elton John as Icon of the Year and Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices as CEO of the Year.
A spokesperson for Time said the magazine “does not comment on its annual choice for Person of the Year prior to publication. This year’s choice will be announced tomorrow morning, Dec. 12, on Time.com.”
USA Today added:
President-elect Donald Trump has landed another prestigious – albeit short-term – gig.
The former and future president will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday to mark the start of the day’s trading, according to a source familiar with his plans.
It will be Trump’s first time ringing the stock exchange bell, a symbolic ritual that is often handed over to celebrities and visiting dignitaries.
Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, rang the bell as first lady in 2019 to mark the one-year anniversary of her “Be Best” initiative, which focused on improving the well-being of young Americans and advocated against cyberbullying.
For Trump, the invitation to ring the stock exchange bell comes just one month after he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to win a second non-consecutive term in the White House.
U.S. stocks rose sharply after his victory on the hopes that he would push through tax cuts and deregulation, analysts said.
What a way to kick off a new era for America!
Inauguration Day can’t come soon enough!
I couldn’t agree more with these responses:
What an honor! Trump deserves it, he’s been a game-changer for America.
Love how the left is going to lose their minds over this. They can’t deny his impact.
Ringing the opening bell at the NYSE will be the cherry on top. Can’t wait to see the celebrations tomorrow!

It is well deserved. He is the only man on earth strong enough to take on what he and his family have been through. He truly loves the USA. I’m proud he is our leader again!
