The newly crowned 47th President-elect of the United States posed for a photo on the cover appearing like a man in charge in his dark suit and red tie. Sitting with one hand over the other, Trump has a serious look on his face as he stares into the distance.
Time gave Trump the honor because he marshaled "a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world."

Davido was a recent guest on "The Big Homies House" podcast, where he ripped the notion of Black people, especially those upset over the Presidential election, fleeing for the Motherland, especially his own beloved Nigeria.
“It’s not cool back home…The economy now is in shambles,” Davido complained to host Big Homie Kodaq, and pointed out how African citizens are being reamed ... buying the homegrown oil for more than the people who get it imported!!!
Elon Musk took a shot at Jeff Bezos, calling him out for supposedly predicting -- wrongly, we may add -- that Donald Trump would lose the presidential election to Kamala Harris.
On Wednesday night, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock.”
Clearly, Musk was referring to the stock value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had lost to Harris, but, of course, that didn't happen. Trump walloped Harris in the election and now he's about to take the reins again at the White House for his second term.

Moore also sees problems with Kamala Harris' campaign ... admitting they cheered when people like Dick Cheney -- someone Moore refers to as a war criminal -- endorsed her and pointing out the Biden admin's support for the War in Gaza certainly didn't help.
Bill Maher could NOT hide his contempt for progressives -- aka the left wing -- in the Democratic Party, explaining to them the right wing does not have a monopoly on stupid.
The 'Real Time' host excoriated Democrats for, on the one hand, attacking Trump voters as clueless and dumb, when they are exactly the same.
Bill points to a gaggle of missteps -- watch the video -- and then makes his overarching point. The left-wing sees almost every issue through the lens of race and sex, yet the people they say they're supporting -- Blacks, Latinos, women, etc -- are not on board. It's sorta like, sit back and let us protect you because we know best. Well, Bill says, well, no you don't.

Cheryl, a lifelong vocal Democrat, was happy and smiling Thursday night during the president-elect's big bash for his cabinet nominees, including RFK Jr. ... his pick for Health and Human Services Secretary.
This was the first time the couple's been seen together at a Trump event since the election, but sources with direct knowledge tell us she's been onboard all along. We're told RFK Jr. went to Mar-a-Lago the day after Trump's landslide victory, and Cheryl was with him as DT offered the HHS Sec. position.
