From the Washington Examiner: President-elect Donald Trump rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange Thursday.
“The New York Stock Exchange welcomes U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump, today, Thursday, December 12, 2024, to honor President-elect Donald J. Trump being named Time’s Person of the Year,” its website read.
This is the first time Trump has had the honors in his hometown despite his business acumen. Trump brought Vice President-elect J.D/ Vance, Health and Human Services Secretary appointee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his Treasury Secretary pick Scott Bessent, and Secretary of the Interior pick Doug Burgum. ICE CEO Jeff Sprecher, TIME CEO Jessica Sibley, and NYSE President Lynn Martin were also there for the occasion.
Former, and future First Lady Melania Trump was also there, standing next to her husband when he rang the bell, as the crowd chanted, “USA! USA!”
Both of Trump’s daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany, were also with him for the important event.
Ivanka posted a photo on social media and wrote, “Celebrating an extraordinary milestone with my father @realdonaldtrump, @melaniatrump @tiffanytrump @jdvance as he rang the NYSE opening bell in front of his TIME Person of the Year cover. Congratulations, Dad !🗽”
