Covers from prominent weekly magazines--The Economist, The New Yorker, and TIME--hitting the shelves this weekend the president will likely never brag about.
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."
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. US voters have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news.
