In an unprecedented move, Time magazine fact-checked 15 statements made by Donald Trump during his interview after being named Person of the Year for the second time. This lengthy analysis, described as a '12 minute read', questions various claims regarding border security, autism, and his electoral mandate. No other Person of the Year has been subjected to such scrutiny in nearly a century. Trump's past interactions with the media were also scrutinized, emphasizing a preference for podcast interviews over traditional outlets, raising questions about his accessibility to mainstream media.
