The skyline shimmers, the music pulses and Donald Trump’s helicopter swoops in for a landing. Oozing authority, the billionaire strides purposefully, in slow-motion, for added impact, toward some important matter of business in “New York, my city,” as Trump calls it. Week by week, year by year, 14 seasons of “The Apprentice” or “Celebrity Apprentice” served as a grand homage to all things Trump, running from 2004 to 2015.

FILE – In this March 18, 2004 file photo, developer Donald Trump signals to those waiting in line at a casting call for the second season of his television show, “The Apprentice,” in New York. Trump is surging back into the public consciousness on a wave of publicity from his reality show and back onto the A-list again. Trump once claimed to be publicity shy, no joke. It’s right there in The New York Times of Nov. 1, 1976. In the same article, the 30-year-old real estate developer talks up his millions, showcases his penthouse apartment and Cadillac, and allows a reporter to tag along as he visits job sites and lunches at the “21” club before hopping an evening flight to California for more deal-making. So much for that shy-guy claim.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.
Since 1927, the magazine has named the person, group or idea that has had the biggest influence on the year’s events “for better or worse.”
“When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied expectations, broken the rules, violated norms, beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election that he entered with 100-to-1 odds against him?” said Time editor Nancy Gibbs.
