Yeah, sure, he's the President-Elect or whatever, but how could TIME Magazine attempt to draw in readers with someone who didn't even win the popular vote? Besides make Americans Brexit themselves, Donald Trump has done nothing truly presidential, and there are a number of people who are more qualified to be recognized as TIME's person of the year for their notable accomplishments.

1. President Barack Obama


If for no other reason than transitioning with grace and throughout the process hand-holding the very man who wants to demolish his legacy.

2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

This one goes without explanation, I mean have you heard the Hamilton Mixtape?!

3. That Uber Driver That Lets You Use the Aux Cord

Not all heroes wear capes.

4. Shirley Caesar


Who is Shirley Caesar you may ask? Only the woman who blessed us with the best Thanksgiving rap of all time. It will live on in our hearts until next turkey day.

5. Lil Sebastian


The legend himself, may he rest in peace. The title has pretty much lost all meaning at this point, so why not extend it to mini-horses?

6. Beyonce

How has this not happened yet?

7. Any Restaurant Employee Ever That Has Had to Deal with a Secret Menu Hack

Your double-shot, extra whip, frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup and the tears of your barista is holding up the line.

8. Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Gilmore Girls revival was iconic and should be remembered as such.

Fun Fact: the "M" in TIME over Trump's head on the cover almost look like devil horns.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
