The Magazine Covers Trump Earned This Week By Defending White Supremacy
Remember how president likes to be the center of attention and appear on the cover of magazines?
Remember when President Donald Trump was famously called out earlier this summer when it emerged there were fake magazine covers featuring him posted at some of his private gold clubs?
Well, in the aftermath of his disastrous, "embarrassing," and infuriating defense of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia this week, covers from prominent weekly magazines--The Economist, The New Yorker, and TIME--hitting the shelves this weekend are probably ones the president won't ever think to brag about.
The New Yorker cover, illustrated by artist David Plunkert and titled "Blowhard," shows Trump providing the wind for a sail shaped like a Klu Klux Klan hood.
That cover emerged just hours after The Economist, with an illustration by Jon Berkeley, unveiled its cover featuring Trump and a KKK hood - this one shaped like a bullhorn.
And on Friday morning, TIME magazine's cover appeared with a man, arm raised in a Nazi salute, holding aloft the American flag.
Earlier in the week this cartoon at The Guardian, by Ben Jennings, also took aim at the president's overt racism and went viral online:
As Elizabeth Brockway wrote for The Daily Beast, the statements of such artwork "is anything but subtle."
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. The final deadline for our crucial Summer Campaign fundraising drive is just days away, and we’re falling short of our must-hit goal. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
