I have a feeling he will make a difference for the US with his take no prisoners bravado.

David Foster 'politely' declined to help with Donald Trump's inauguration
Considering how many big-time musicians were supporting Hillary Clinton during the U.S. election campaign, it's not surprising that it's been difficult for Trump to find quality performers for the big day.

I believe Time picks the most influential person for person of the year, rather than meaning any direct endorsement. Plus, even if you ignore the red horns, the choices made in how to photograph Trump are definitely deliberate. Firstly, he's in the seated "power" position, but from behind which implicates the viewer as "behind" his power (at least, that's how I see it). There are plenty of dissections of the symbolism, of which I'm a fan of this: https://fstoppers.com/originals/did-time-magazine-use-photography-compare-donald-trump-hitler-156376
In any case, I highly doubt an authoritarian with his eyes on border and immigration control, while cutting social services, is going to be very good for the SPs to the south. Especially since this career doesn't come with health insurance, and many SPs travel. It's going to be tough the next few years. On top of that, I'm not confident that Trump will be protecting free speech and a free internet. Quite the contrary. (not that left-leaning anti-sexworker 'feminists' like Kamala Harris have been particularly great either).
Basically, US politics is absolutely horrifying to watch. I think most of us can agree on that!

ancing:WASHINGTON -- One of the Middle East's richest nations said Tuesday it would host its annual Washington party at Donald Trump's new hotel, underscoring the president-elect's unusual status as the owner of a major venue for events in the U.S. capital.
Salem Al Sabah, Kuwait's ambassador to the U.S., said the party would take place Feb. 25, adding that he hopes guests like the "new hotel in town." He said no one pressed him to move the Kuwaiti National Day event from its regular venue at the Four Seasons. Although Kuwait did not have a contract with the Four Seasons for the party, the date had been set aside for it to possibly take place there.
"I do not know President-elect Trump," the ambassador told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "I do not know any of his people. None of his people have contacted me." He added: "I thought would be exciting for our guests to see a new venue. It looks great. It looks cool. So let's do it."
Al Sabah noted that last year's reception occurred at the Newseum, a museum promoting the media.
Nevertheless, the move to Trump's $200-million renovation of the Old Post Office Pavilion could reinforce questions raised about the incoming president's possible conflicts of interest. House Democrats already have warned that they'll make the splashy hotel a headache for Trump if he doesn't dump his ownership stake before taking office Jan. 20. Trump has a six-decade lease on the property.
The Trump Organization is moving to remove thorny overseas relationships, cancelling hotel licensing deals in Azerbaijan, neighbouring Georgia and Brazil.
Al Sabah ridiculed the notion that he would choose the D.C. hotel to curry favour with the next administration.
"We have very deep economic, military and cultural ties; we've had tens of thousands of American troops in our country," he said, noting Kuwait's basing of forces for U.S. operations in Afghanistan and to fight the Islamic State group. "You think a two-hour reception in a ballroom does that?"
