The Issue: Time magazine names President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 Person of the Year.
President-elect Donald Trump’s Time magazine “Person of the Year” award signifies the return to American exceptionalism and a true Renaissance in our country (“His ‘Time’ has come again,” Dec. 13).
Trump has shown what it takes to be a true leader. This election sets in motion the end of the progressive policies that the Dems and those on the Left have been force-feeding us for years.
America is finally turning the page on the Democratic Party and an administration that almost destroyed our country.

Time magazine has once again chosen Donald Trump to be its “Person of the Year.”
He had stiff competition from other notable strongmen, including Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu and Xi Jinping. After all, it is so difficult these days to differentiate between any of them.
Maybe next year Time can bypass the loudest mouth in the room and award it to someone exhibiting more moral integrity and a truly benevolent spirit.

In an unexpected twist in America’s political narrative, Donald Trump’s victory has catalyzed a phenomenon: the depolarization of our nation.
This transformation is evident in the halls of Congress, where bipartisan efforts on health care, infrastructure and education reform are no longer anomalies. Trump’s tenure — characterized by an unconventional approach — has encouraged politicians to seek common ground, realizing that progress lies not in partisan victory but in collaborative governance.
Trump’s legacy might well be remembered not for division but for inadvertently fostering unity — proving that even from discord, depolarization can emerge, offering a new path for American democracy.

Trump should strive to make the world a better place and be remembered for his good works and leadership. At present he is too well known for his misdemeanors and all-caps social posts.
Time will judge him more accurately — and I mean history, not the magazine.

The Issue: City Council weighs a law that would require electric bikes and scooters to be licensed.
Hats off to The Post for reporting on the e-bike problem and City Councilman Robert Holden’s bill (“Slowing down vicious cycles,” Dec. 12).
These vehicles are definitely a threat to public safety. The council needs to pass Priscilla’s Law, and so mandate registering all e-bikes and scooters. Right now, if an e-bike or scooter hits a pedestrian, the rider can flee. Most do, like the one who killed Priscilla Loke. It’s time to hold them accountable.

For nearly a decade I have been involved in trying to get a requirement that all e-bikes be licensed
One day I saw delivery bikes with license plates parked on Broadway outside a fast-food place. If they could do it, why not others?
Back then, I had a habit of rushing out of my building — but when leaving one day I slowed down. I’m glad I did, because a well-dressed man in a suit zoomed right past me on the sidewalk in front of my building. Had I moved a little faster it would have been a bad sight.
Years have gone by, but it is as if nothing has changed — except the bikes are motorized and more dangerous.
What do we have to do to get those with power to ensure every last bike is licensed?
