Magazine Covers Paint a Stark Picture of The Trump Presidency

President Trump collects magazine covers, but he probably won't want to keep these.

The Pride came before the Fall

The latest from the Economist depicts the president bellowing into a white, conical megaphone — with eye holes that lend the appearance of a Ku Klux Klan hood. The clear implication is that Trump has amplified the message of white supremacists by failing to treat them as any more blameworthy than the counterprotesters with whom they clashed in Charlottesville last weekend.
Time magazine's new cover image features a boot-clad white man behind an American flag, held aloft at a 45-degree angle by a pole whose ornament is an outstretched hand, creating the effect of a Nazi salute.

These are jarring illustrations, and we haven't even seen what the New Yorker, famous for provocative art, will produce.

Update: The New Yorker released an early look at next week's cover on Thursday afternoon. It depicts Trump in a sailboat whose sail resembles a KKK hood.
