President-elect Donald Trump rang in Thursday with the announcement he is Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” only to follow that up with ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
Before ringing the bell, Trump thanked Time, lauded the NYSE and announced a few economic goals he has set for his second term as president, per a report in The Hill.
All this while standing in front a display of Time’s cover announcing his new honor.
“It is an honor. And this is a double, because usually they don’t coordinate the man of the year – or the Person of the Year – with the ringing of the bell,” Trump said. “And brilliantly, you’ve picked them both at the same time … It takes one trip.”
