In his letter to readers, Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs credited Trump with "marshalling a comeback of historic proportions" and "driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment" that reshaped the American presidency and altered the US's role in the world.

The Republican president-elect rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday to mark the honour alongside several of his family members and chants of "U-S-A".

In an interview with Time magazine, Trump reiterated some of his plans for his second term.

He pledged to look "case-by-case" at the convictions of his supporters who rioted at the US Capitol in January 2021, having previously pledged to issue pardons.
