Donald Trump's being chosen as Time magazine's person of the year has created waves in social media, and not the peaceful kind.

From speculation over whether the M was strategically positioned by the magazine over Trump's head to look like the devil's horns to comparison between earlier covers that featured Russian President Vladimir Putin, Hitler and Stalin, there has been no dearth of people's reactions to the cover.

One man modified the cover to say Tweeter of the year and had a picture of Trump in nude sitting on a chair wih a tab in his hand with his Twitter page open. 

 Another shared previous covers of Time that had the controversial and hated world leaders.

Trump bragged about sexual assault. 12+ women confirmed it. Next, he was elected president & named Time's Person of the Year. #RapeCulture. Tomorrow, every sexual predator in America will know that half the country has their back. And every survivor will know you don't, said another Twitter user Caroline O

I hear Time rippedTrump in their "Person of the Year" article. Of course, it's Time Magazine. Doesn't matter, we still got thecover. :-), said radio show host Bill Mitchel

Time magazine should've just given Trump a rimjob and put Putin on the cover, said Jon Daly, American actor, comedian.
