In a tweet on Friday, President Trump claimed he “took a pass” on being TIME Magazine’s 2017 “Person of the Year” after the publication reportedly called and said they’d “probably” offer him the spot.
Trump was awarded the title last year after he won the 2016 presidential election.
TIME has not yet released who they are awarding the title to this year. The official announcement will be made on Dec. 6, the publication said.
A Fox News request to TIME for comment wasn’t immediately returned.
While the magazine’s editors make the final choice, they reportedly take into consideration the opinions of their readers and let them vote, TIME said.
