President Trump depicted as Nazi, racist, insane on latest magazine covers

Nine months after taking office as the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump continues to be vilified by the press.
In his first 60 days in office, 62% of the media coverage of Trump was negative, according to the Pew Research Center. That compares with 20% negative coverage for Barack Obama and 28% each for George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. (See article “Do The Media Hate Trump? Yes, And From The Very Start Of His Presidency, New Survey Shows.”)
Magazine covers featuring President Trump have been mostly negative, too.
What follows is the latest batch of Trump magazine covers since my August post on the subject. (See “Magazine covers depict President Trump as warmonger, KKK member and mental patient.”)
As usual, the harshest magazine covers featuring Trump come from outside the U.S.
German news magazine Stern depicted Trump giving a Nazi salute while draped in an American flag on its Aug. 24 issue.
The cover headline “Sein Kampf,” or “His Struggle” is a play on Adolf Hitler’s 1925 book “Mein Kampf.”
British news magazine The Week portrayed Trump as a Confederate general (Sept. 1), NFL critic (Oct.6) and sex abuser (Oct. 20).
U.S. news magazine Newsweek presented Trump as insane (Sept. 29) and godless (Oct. 13).
