8:56Now PlayingTrump’s obsession with Time Magazine is pathetic and sad. Cenk Uygur and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, show you how he lied about Person of the Year. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named 'Man (Person) of the Year,' like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot," Trump tweeted. "I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!”
