(TIME) – President-elect Donald Trump reacted Thursday morning to being named TIME’s 2024 Person of the Year and championed the potential for America’s economic growth in his second term.

Trump said that coming into office in January he is better prepared in understanding how to staff his administration and utilize his power. “’Now we have experience we didn’t have,” he said.

“TIME Magazine, getting this honor for the second time, I think I like it better this time,” Trump said at the New York Stock Exchange before ringing the opening bell alongside TIME CEO Jessica Sibley and others. Since 1927, TIME has named a Person of the Year, a recognition for the individual who has made the most impact on the world and the headlines, for better or for worse. Trump was previously Person of the Year in 2016, when he first won the presidency.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
