'Time' deny purposely doing this to Donald Trump's 'Man of the Year' cover

In case you missed it, Donald J. Trump is TIME's Person of the Year.

Not a huuuuuge surprise considering previous recipients of this title include Hitler, Putin and Stalin (twice), and George W. Bush.

The winner of the cover is the "person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year," and Trump IS certainly the winner.

Twitter users were quick to point out that TIME might have made a subtle dig at Trump, by positioning his head in front of the 'M' so that the peaks of the letter look remarkably similar to devil horns.

Within a matter of hours, however, TIME denied this was the case. It published a gallery of 35 people (including Margaret Thatcher, Hillary Clinton and Pope Francis) it had also accidentally given devil horns too, stressing that "any resemblance to cats, bats or devil horns is entirely coincidental." Lol!

Wellllllllllllllll okay.
