Falsely claims Time magazine offered him "Person of the Year"; magazine rebuts

Trump tweeted, "Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named 'Man (Person) of the Year,' like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!" Time publicly disputed the account, stating, "The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6." A senior Time executive said there was "not a speck of truth" to the claim. The episode fit a documented pattern of Trump asserting self-flattering versions of events that the named party then contradicts on the record.
