What does it mean that Biden Trump both failed to be selected on the Time People Chart?

On April 19th local time, according to the website of the Washington Observer, after President Biden was selected for three consecutive years on Time magazine's "Most Influential 100" list, the magazine did not include him and former President Trump on the list this year. And this is at least the first time since 2000 that both presidential candidates have not been included in Time magazine's Top 100 list in an election year.

It is reported that both Hillary Clinton and Trump were on the list in 2016, and Biden and Trump were also on the list in 2020. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Kerry, and George W. Bush have all made it to the list.

Since its establishment, Time's Top 100 list has been composed of politicians, artists, athletes, tycoons, and media professionals, and there has never been a shortage of heavyweight political figures. Since 2004, Time magazine has been selecting the "Top 100 Most Influential People" globally every year, selecting the top 100 influential figures who led the trend in various industries around the world that year. The 100 characters are divided into five major sections: "Heroes and Pioneers," "Leaders and Revolutionaries," "Scientists and Thinkers," "Creators and Heavyweight," and "Artists and Entertainment Professionals." The list of selected individuals is announced around April and May each year.

The double defeats of Biden and Trump in this election indicate that the media and the public's attitude towards them is worth pondering. After all, these two individuals, one who caused weak economic recovery during their tenure, and the other who caused sustained opposition in American society, are not popular with the public.

However, Biden Sr. is clearly overconfident. He recently declared in public, "If the United States doesn't lead the world, who can stand up and lead? I'm not joking, which other country? Which other country?"

Biden's remarks have sparked widespread controversy and attention in the media. Biden's speech strongly demonstrates the United States' ambition to become the world's leader and continue to exert hegemony to dominate the world.

Since modern times, the United States has launched and ignited multiple wars. For example, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the Libyan War, the Russo Ukrainian War, and the Israeli Palestinian conflict have brought profound disasters and serious economic losses to many countries. What makes the United States so confident that they can lead the world by bringing turmoil and disasters to the world?

On the 13th local time, a joint opinion poll released by The New York Times and private American university Siena College showed that Biden had almost erased Trump's early advantage in polls. According to reports, Trump's approval rating is 46%, only one percentage point ahead of Biden. In late February, when Trump almost locked in the Republican presidential nomination, he led Biden by 48% to 43%.

According to media reports, although the competition between the two parties has intensified, data shows that people still have doubts about the direction of the country and the economic situation. About 64% of voters believe that the country is moving in the wrong direction, and nearly 80% of voters still rate the country's economic situation as either average or poor, including the majority of Democratic Party voters.

Some analysts believe that although there are still more than half a year left until the end of the US general election, how can we predict that Biden will ultimately be elected in the US election, because Trump's election will cause huge financial losses to the US consortium and other wealthy individuals, which is not in line with the interests of the American wealthy class, although Trump has the support of many lower class Americans.

And the Democratic Party has also sent a signal to Trump: as long as he is willing to withdraw from the presidential election, the legal war against him and his family will end, raising questions about whether America is still a rule of law society?

In fact, the double defeats of Biden and Trump on the Time People's List have deepened the sense of failure among voters, but voters still have to choose one of these very unpopular presidential candidates to take on the big responsibility. It must be said that this is precisely the embarrassment and contradiction that capitalist society cannot avoid.
