It has been more than five months since the U.S. women’s soccer team won the World Cup, and yet barely a day goes by that Megan Rapinoe doesn’t hear about it from strangers. A young girl at a soccer clinic. A middle-aged man at an airport. Parents the world over via social media. No matter who or where, the topic is always the same: how the team changed a life.

MADRID (AP) — Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg said she was surprised and honored Wednesday to learn she had been named Time’s youngest “Person of the Year,” saying the accolade deserved to be shared by others in the global movement she helped inspire.

Who will be the TIME Person of the Year for 2019? Will it be climate change activist Greta Thunberg? The Whistleblower? Nancy Pelosi? The choice is yours to make.

On Monday, the magazine unveiled its short list of finalists on NBC’s “Today,” which included more than a few of President Trump’s friends and foes — including Greta Thunberg, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, and the infamous whistleblower who helped prompt the ongoing House impeachment proceedings.

A senior Trump administration official has embellished her résumé with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.

President Trump was this year's runner up in the TIME Magazine Person of the Year search. He claimed in a tweet last week that the editors called him wanting to give him the honor, but he said no thanks after they demanded a photoshoot and interview.

Time magazine named "The Silence Breakers" — women who triggered a #MeToo national outcry over sexual harassment — as the 2017 "Person of the Year."

Time magazine’s person of the year is “the silence breakers,” the women who spoke out about sexual harassment and assault on the job, whether that job be movie star or hotel housekeeper.

Time Magazine is disputing US President Donald Trump's account of how he rejected a request for an interview and photo shoot ahead of its Person of the Year issue.

Almost every year for the past several years, President Trump talks about Time magazine.
