Time mag brands Trump a 'huckster,' calls Clinton 'an American Moses'

President-elect Donald Trump was named Time magazine's Person of the Year on Wednesday –
and the honor basically ended there.
While describing Trump as the real change-maker of 2016, the magazine also
ragged on the Republican president-elect as a "huckster" and "demagogue"
while reserving its most glowing praise for runner-up Hillary Clinton -- whom the edition
breathlessly described as "an American Moses."
In describing Trump, Time's article
almost exclusively used backhanded compliments. For instance, while the piece said he "did what no American politician had attempted in a generation," it added that he "magnified the divisions of the present, inspiring new levels of anger and fear within his country."...
...The article on Hillary Clinton is much different. Subtitled "The winner of the popular vote leaves a complicated legacy," the tone is worlds away from the fulminating darkness that permeates the Trump piece.
The opening paragraph reads more like the prologue of St. John's Gospel than an essay on a presidential runner-up, saying of Clinton: "she became a symbol in a fight that was about much more than symbolism."
"She's the woman who was almost President, she is what might have been and what will yet be."
Even when writer Charlotte Alter offered criticism of the former secretary of state,
she implied Clinton's mistakes stemmed from her fundamental strengths, or were the fault of her critics....
...After discussing what Clinton's failed candidacy means for future female candidates,
Time likened Clinton to "an American Moses."
"Like an American Moses, she was an imperfect prophet, leading women to the edge of the Promised Land. Now it's up to another woman to enter it."
