Frontpage Magazine’s Man of the Year: Donald J. Trump—Making America Great Again

For demonstrating resolute courage in the pursuit of resurrecting American exceptionalism, for loosening the stranglehold the Left has on political and cultural power in this country, and for galvanizing and empowering the movement to Make America Great Again—

Donald J. Trump

is FrontPage Magazine’s Man of the Year for 2024.

This from frontpagemag.com.

The magazine’s commentary on Trump makes it clear that its editors see him in a light of divine intervention—or the hand of destiny—being at work in his miraculous survival of the shooting at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally earlier this year, where a slight turn of his head “at the sound of a sniper’s first shot resulted in the second bullet merely nicking his ear rather than lethally shattering his skull.”

In a moment that will live in history despite the propaganda “media’s attempt to send it down the memory hole,” Trump then rose up with a pumping fist amid his Secret Service cover, and exhorted the crowd to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

It was this moment that singularly demonstrated his fearless pugnacity, galvanized his supporters like never before, and arguably sealed his election victory.

Each year FrontPage Magazine selects a Man or Woman of the Year, and like TIME, for 2024 they have chosen President-elect Donald J. Trump. Past recipients of the title—to exemplify the caliber of the selection—include freedom fighters Geert Wilders (2008), Stephan K. Bannon (2016), and—last year—a collective choice, the Israeli Defense Forces soldier.

Those at FrontPage Magazine see Donald Trump as a patriot and a man of the people. They have every reason to believe Trump truly loves this country and his fellow Americans, he truly believes in American exceptionalism (you may recall that former President Barack Hussein Obama dismissed American exceptionalism as unexceptional), and he has a vision for propelling America out of its communist/globalist-driven decline back to preeminent superpower status.

Voters wanted a leader to Make America Great Again.

And, so, Trump, who had a reelection stolen from him in 2020 crushed his opponent in 2024—in the electoral college and popular vote—“to make a jaw-dropping comeback against all odds and claim a mandate from the American people for hope and change.” Not the sort that Obama had peddled—a “fundamental transformation” of the United States—but the sort that patriotic Americans have been craving ever since Obama began implementing his communist/globalist, post-American agenda.

The stunning red landslide in November left his Leftist and Never-Trump haters demoralized, shell-shocked, and exhausted. They knew they were in trouble but deep down they could not process the unfathomable possibility that their nemesis could ever actually re-occupy the White House. They are still trying to process their loss.

[The Left] and establishment Republicans alike both fear and hate Trump because he is not a lifelong careerist politician but a political outsider who ran (and won) on taking a wrecking ball to the Deep State and the status quo.

Throughout his first term, Trump was bitterly confronted by the traitors in his midst, a judiciary and Department of In-Justice weaponized against him as well as against all Conservatism, the D.C. swamp that he swore he would drain, and the entire mass propaganda media.

This time around, however, he is thinking outside-the-box with his picks for his forthcoming administration—e.g., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and more. And his approach clearly demonstrates he not only has developed savvier instincts but also a bold determination to upend politics-as-usual.

The MAGA counterrevolution has already begun and

Trump has not even settled back into the Oval Office yet.

Domestically, Trump:

– [H]as vowed to make border security, including the mass deportation of illegals, a Day One focus, [and] has already initiated back-channel discussions with the governments of Mexico and El Salvador to coordinate the deportations,

– The Left’s racist DEI programs, which Trump has condemned, that were corroding every institution from the military to corporate America to higher education, are already being rolled back, and

– Employees of bloated bureaucratic agencies, in the crosshairs of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency commission, are already preparing to jump ship.

Internationally, even CNN acknowledges Trump’s victory is forcing a massive geopolitical reassessment:

– From Europe to Taiwan and Iran to Russia, foreign leaders are gaming out how to deal with the unpredictability of Trump’s return,

– Trump has put the brakes, for example, on our hurtling toward World War III by putting Putin and Zelensky on notice that he will end the war in Ukraine.

– Israel, at war on several fronts against the existential enemies of the West, is reassured that it once again has no better ally in the White House,

– [O]ur enemy China knows it no longer has an American President in its pocket, and

– Globalist institutions like the World Health Organization, which Trump vows to exit, are panicking that a nationalist is in the White House and they can no longer count on U.S. funding.

Finally, as Victor Davis Hanson has so brilliantly stated:

These are just a few of the ways in which a new Trump era is poised to radically reset national and world affairs in ways that will herald a return to sanity.

God speed President Trump.
