The 'Donald Trump Time Person of the Year Tweet' originated from a real post on November 24, 2017, where the former president claimed Time Magazine called to say he was 'PROBABLY' going to be named Person of the Year, but he turned them down. Time Magazine later disputed the account, leading the internet to immediately turn the tweet into a parody template. Users often replace the text to make it seem like Trump is turning down absurdly minor honors or use the 'I said probably is no good' line to mock a sense of inflated self-importance in everyday situations. It remains a staple of political and social media satire for its unique phrasing and defensive tone.
