New York (AFP) - Time magazine on Wednesday named Donald Trump its "Person of the Year" for 2016 for his stunning upset election victory that rewrote the rules of politics, delivering him to the helm of a divided America.

The president-elect dialed into NBC television's Today show, welcoming the accolade as a "very, very great honor," denying he was responsible for divisions and praising outgoing Democratic President Barack Obama.

The real estate tycoon, who has never previously held elected office and shocked the political establishment by defeating his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, is featured on Time's cover described as "Donald Trump: President of the Divided States of America."

The magazine said its person of the year, a tradition that began in 1927, "had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year."

"So which is it this year: better or worse?" editor-in-chief Nancy Gibbs wrote. "The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer."

She said 2016 had been the year of his rise and 2017 would be the year of his rule, after he is sworn into office on January 20.

"Like all newly elected leaders, he has a chance to fulfill promises and defy expectations," said Gibbs.

Trump won the title, she added, for "reminding America that demagoguery feeds on despair and that truth is only as powerful as the trust in those who speak it, for empowering a hidden electorate by mainstreaming its furies and live-streaming its fears, and for framing tomorrow's political culture by demolishing yesterday's."

In the past Time has showed its editorial teeth by naming sinister figures -- Adolf Hitler in 1938 and Joseph Stalin both in 1939 and 1942.

The president-elect told NBC's Today show that he thought the sub-heading on the front cover about a divided America was "snarky" and denied that it was his fault.

"I'm not president yet so I didn't do anything to divide," he said, despite having inflamed the country by campaign rhetoric disparaging women, illegal immigrants and Muslims among others.

Takes Obama's advice

For years he criticized Obama and was instrumental in the so-called "birther" movement that questioned whether the first black president was born in the United States.

"I will say this: I've now gotten to know President Obama, I really like him," Trump told NBC on Wednesday. "I can't speak for him, but we have a really good chemistry together. We talked," he said.

"He loves the country, he wants to do right by the country and for the country and I will tell you, we obviously very much disagree on certain policies and certain things, but I really like him," he added.

The billionaire even said that he discussed some of his possible appointments with the outgoing Democratic president.

"I take his recommendations very seriously and there are some people that I will be appointing and in one case have appointed where he thought very highly of that person," Trump said.

Clinton, the former secretary of state who became the closest in history to becoming America's first female commander in chief, was named the runner-up, with computer hackers in third place.

The former first lady won the popular vote with around 2.7 million more votes than Trump, but the Republican won the crucial Electoral College by 306 to 232.

Trump campaigned hard on a promise of bringing back jobs with the old manufacturing heartland hard hit by companies fleeing overseas and taking jobs to cheaper labor markets in China or Mexico.

Trump told Time in an interview that he asked Apple CEO Tim Cook to build in the United States "a great plant, your biggest and your best, even if it's only a foot by a foot bigger than some place in China."

He also addressed representing working class Americans despite his lavish wealth, living in a luxurious Manhattan penthouse.

"I'm sitting in an apartment the likes of which nobody's ever seen. And yet I represent the workers of the world. And they love me and I love them," he told the magazine.

"I think people aspire to do things. And they aspire to watch people. I don't think they want to see the president carrying his luggage out of Air Force One. And that's pretty much the way it is," he said.

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, December 9, 2016)

Matthew Ward - December 9, 2016

Matthew Ward

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Always emotions intensify at year’s end as people around the world celebrate with traditional religious services, stirring music, and festivities with family and friends. It is during this season that those whose lives are fulfilling feel more grateful than usual and those whose lives are bleak feel more despairing. This year, with planetary vibrations higher than ever before in your history, feelings of gratitude for blessings and reaching out to those in need are correspondingly heightened. We wish you could see the brilliance of this magnified gratitude, generosity and thankfulness for the sharing—it is a sight to behold.

Vibrations also have played a very large role in the recent election in the United States, and let us speak first about the negative reactions to the outcome. We can feel the strong emotions of many people in that country: anger about a political system that doesn’t honor the popular vote, apprehension about what has transpired in the weeks since the election, the fear of some families for their safety and the potential uprooting of their lives, anxiety about what lies ahead for the country. And, because that government’s actions often have global impact, leaders of other nations are wary.

We understand those feelings, and many of you have expressed them in emails to my mother. Dear ones, you can have peace of mind if you think about what you know that most people don’t:

The election outcome doomed the Illuminati’s plan to put one of their own back in the White House after eight years of having to fight a president who fought back to the extent he could.

Planetary vibrations will strengthen and advance only endeavors that best serve Earth and all her life forms; anything to the contrary cannot be long-lasting.

Hard-won rights and progress in social justice cannot be dismantled. It is not the destiny of Earth’s peoples to go backward, but to move ever forward toward peace, mutual respect, cooperation and life in harmony with Nature.

The world where life is like that and the planet is restored to health and pristine beauty—the world you are helping to create in linear time—already vibrantly exists in the continuum.

So, while it may seem that the new administration and its direction is set in stone for four years, such is not the case.

Several readers have asked if NESARA [National Economic Security and Reformation Act ] is the solution to this situation that many around the world regard as a pivotal point in time—it is, and it would be resoundingly welcomed if everyone knew what is to ensue.

Back to NESARA. The energy around this US legislation automatically puts it in the realm of possibility, but one unlikely to bear fruit imminently. Not only is the Act not widely known, but some who have heard of it don’t believe it is valid; some who do believe it is, have misconceptions about it; and others, including some members of government, believe the dis formation posted on the government’s NESARA website. [For readers who aren’t familiar with NESARA, typing the word in the search blank on www.matthewbooks.com will access dates of the numerous messages that include this topic.]

For 16 years the Act’s implementation has been prevented by one nefarious means or another—most ruthlessly by the “9/11” betrayal of that country by its leaders—because of its provision that returns the nation to its constitutional status as a sovereign republic, nullifies the existing corporation that was promptly and stealthily established by the Illuminati British royals, and tosses out all officeholders. If for that reason only, the new administration would keep the Act under former President Bill Clinton’s gag order that legally prohibits anyone who knows of it to ever speak about it publicly. And, the Illuminati within and beyond Congress will continue doing whatever it takes to keep the lid on NESARA because all of its provisions were designed to end their control of that country and ultimately, the world.

Nevertheless, activity in Earth’s energy field of potential pertaining to the election and its aftermath still is tumultuous, so it is possible that the Act could be brought to public awareness and, perhaps by demand of the informed citizenry, the government will be re-formed. If so, that would be the way the country gains leadership that will set course in the light direction. And, since this part of Earth’s energy field still is so unsettled, other scenarios may arise to lead Bernie Sanders to the Oval Office.

That is not a prediction—it is in alignment with the energy flow. We can see Earth’s Big Picture because in the continuum it is fait accompli , but we can’t predict what will happen in the short term. It all depends upon vibrations. A sudden surge of energy from the collective thoughts, feelings and actions of all life on Earth can propel a situation from probability to certainty as swiftly as it can reverse it to possibility.

So then, let us speak about the flow of energy as it has affected your political scene so far and its pertinence to what is ahead. This has nothing to do with politics per se, it has everything to do with the vibrations around political matters and how those will play out in accordance with universal laws.

Despite loyal supporters during the months of campaigning, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton attracted predominantly negative energy attachments, which emit low vibrations. Neither had wholehearted endorsement of their respective parties, but they became the nominees. Mrs. Clinton did so because the DNC gave her the vote count in critical primaries that Mr. Sanders won, and Mr. Trump won the presidential election because the Illuminati’s vote manipulation to favor Mrs. Clinton went awry. Thus, vibrations of the energy around both individuals and the corruption in the electoral process were consistently at low levels, and that level has dropped during the weeks since the election due to widespread protests and distress about the president-elect’s choice of persons for key positions.

When Mr. Sanders entered the race, energy gathering around him had high vibrations in consonance with his character and voters’ approval of his reform philosophy. As days passed and support for him increased, the vibratory level kept rising and it still is as he continues promoting the changes he and his supporters feel are best for the country. The bottom line is, vibrations around Mr. Sanders are aligned with the planetary vibrations that are manifesting light-filled conditions in service to the planet and the peoples. In the weeks and months ahead, Earth will be orbiting in successively lighter planes, where her civilization at last can become free of oppression in body, mind and spirit.

Now then, some time ago we told you that 2017 ends the decade of delay in society’s conscious and spiritual attainment that Earth’s Golden Age master planners had anticipated would be reached by 2007. Next year begins a grand new chapter in your world’s history as powerful energy waves undergird areas of high vibrations and start manifesting significant changes on your near horizon.

But please do not expect the unfolding to be smooth sailing all the way. There will be trial-and-error detours along the lighted pathway, foot-dragging on the part of still slumbering souls, and the Illuminati still have remnants of power. They will mount resistance by causing upheavals wherever they can and using scare tactics—a number of ominous speculations, including an invasion from space, already are circulating. Souls from advanced civilizations living among you and in your skies will continue to prevent anything that could endanger you, and soon the Illuminati will have to accept the truth: Their long dark ages of controlling life on Earth have come to an end.

Lightworkers, you are the vanguard of the growing numbers moving toward a world where love prevails overall. In numerous messages we have told you that love and light are one and the same energy, the most powerful force in the cosmos and the key to transforming your world, that love is the composition of the soul and the bond that reunites people and animals who are dear to each other. Maybe we haven’t told you often enough, though, that growing spiritually and consciously includes loving self. You could say that soul evolvement starts with loving self—you have to know how love feels to you before you can feel love for others and be open to receiving it. Dear brothers and sisters, self-love is NOT self-centeredness, egotism, vanity, pridefulness or any other third density trait— loving self is honoring your divinity as a part of God.

Awakening souls need to understand what love is, and long-time readers may appreciate a reminder of what I told my mother when she asked about love and how it applies to “everyday life.”

In simplest terms, love is God's sharing of Himself with all of His creations. Love is the healing force of the universe. Love is within the soul and needs only your allowance of those innate sensations of loving others and receiving their love for you. Love has no limitations, no boundaries to its capacity.

In expression, love is treating others with kindness, fairness, honesty, compassion, helpfulness, caring, respect. If love can be said to have “ingredients,” then those are some of the ingredients of godly expression in action.

Knowing that you and God and every other of God's creations are inseparable is love. Knowing that Earth is a sentient, conscious life herself and respecting all of her life forms is love. Realizing that no one can know others at soul level and therefore does not judge them, but rather does not condone an action seen as injurious, is love.

Listening to one's godself is love. Living the kind of life that engenders loving self is love. Feeling joy yourself when you see it in others is love. Doing something that brings joy to another is love. Forgiveness of self and others is love. Sharing your resources with full heart is love. Doing good deeds without attaching expectations is love. Feeling peace of heart and mind is love. The quiet thrill of seeing a sunset or hearing a songbird is love, and a smile is one of the simplest and most radiating expressions of love.

In any or all of these instances and many others that you may encounter that instinctively you know are love in action, you are manifesting your love for and of God. Mother, I don’t think I’ve told you anything at all surprising. But perhaps it is good to have some references as a guiding light in these times when darkness may seem to be overshadowing the magnificent abundance of love in your world. [That excerpt from “Love in Everyday Life” chapter of Illuminations for a New Era was transmitted soon after Matthew and I started communicating telepathically in January 1994.]

As you celebrate this season, please keep in mind the bounty of goodness in the love that you and countless others are radiating. Neverunderestimate the power of love to change lives and your world—love is the doorway to Earth’s Golden Age in full bloom.

We wish joyous holidays and a wondrous new year to you, our beloved family.

LOVE and PEACE

Suzanne Ward
