Time Magazine is disputing US President Donald Trump\u2019s account of how he rejected a request for an interview and photo shoot ahead of its Person of the Year issue.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Mr Trump tweeted that Time had called to say he was \u201cprobably\u201d going to be named Person of the Year.<\/p>\n
But Time later said the president was incorrect about how it makes its choice.<\/p>\n
The president was awarded the title last year.<\/p>\n
He has previously falsely claimed that he holds the record for cover appearances on Time Magazine.<\/p>\n
The magazine\u2019s tradition \u2013 begun in 1927 as \u201cMan of the Year\u201d \u2013 recognises the person who \u201cfor better or for worse\u2026 has done the most to influence the events of the year\u201d.<\/p>\n
Time said it did not comment on its choice until publication, and that its decision would be revealed on 6 December.<\/p>\n
The publication invites readers to vote on who they think has earned the title, but the final decision is made by editors.<\/p>\n
A former editor of the magazine, Richard Stengel, said the use of the word \u201cprobably\u201d meant Mr Trump had missed out on the accolade.<\/p>\n
In June, The Washington Post revealed that several of Mr Trump\u2019s golf clubs prominently display a framed copy of a fake Time cover featuring several positive headlines and Trump as its cover.<\/p>\n
Richard Stengel referenced the report when he retweeted the president on Friday, adding the comment: \u201cHate to tell you but that probably means you\u2019re not Person of the Year. They just wanted a photo shoot. But I\u2019m sure you still have that fake Time cover somewhere in storage.\u201d<\/p>\n
