It's clearly Baghdadi, but the magazibe normally shines away from picking controversial figures for fear of 'endorsing'. Either him or Trump. If people really want an inspirational pick they should go with Suu Kyi.
Seriously, Baghdadi is the only person on this list who has made a major impact (certainly a negative one) on this world.
Except his main impact was last year, not this year. There is no obvious choice for this year, but it's about time for Time to name another entrepreneur who is supposedly remaking the world with a disruptive business model. So of the 59 choices they gave, I think Travis Kalanick, Uber's CEO, is the most likely one for them to pick, but even so his chances are at best 1 in 5.

Donald Trump would sell the most magazines.
Possibly, but then they'd run the risk of having the same person two years in a row if he wins the presidency.

I'll repeat what I previously said:

So of the 59 choices they gave, I think Travis Kalanick, Uber's CEO, is the most likely one for them to pick, but even so his chances are at best 1 in 5.
I'll up them to 1 in 3 now that he's made the shortlist.  He's still the likeliest choice, and some of these eight have zero chance.
