The annual cover, which highlights an individual who has greatly influenced the year, is set to be unveiled on Thursday morning. But sources familiar with the matter say the president-elect is expected to grace the cover.
This will mark the second time Trump has been named Time’s “Person of the Year,” and to celebrate, he will reportedly ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning.
The honor comes as Trump continues to fill out his administration before he takes office January 20.
So far, the president-elect has announced nominations for most key roles – many of which are filled by his close allies, longtime friends or members of his family.
Earlier this week, Trump announced he would appoint his son’s fiance, Kimberly Guilfoyle, to serve as ambassador to Greece.
