After giving him relatively benign depictions on magazine covers at the end of 2017, they took the gloves off at the start of the year.
The change of heart was sparked by an expose on the White House by Michael Wolff and Trump tweet storms and comments that had people questioning the president’s mental health.
Cuban artist Edel Rodriguez has been the go-to illustrator for critical coverage of Trump. He scored four magazine covers in one week this month: Time, New Statesman, Epoca and Der Spiegel. (See articles by Fast Company’s Co.Design and the Daily Beast.)
New York magazine illustrated its Jan. 8-21 cover story (an adaptation of Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”) with artwork of Trump screaming into a phone while eating a burger and fries.
The New Yorker magazine illustrated Trump in a literal hole after his inflammatory comments about the U.S. taking in immigrants from “shithole” countries such as Haiti, El Salvador and African nations. (See articles by the Huffington Post and the Washington Post.)
What follows are those covers and more featuring Trump from the last few weeks. They include issues of the Economist, Bloomberg Businessweek Middle East, Japanese financial magazine Weekly Toyo Keizai, German news weekly Stern, the New European and the Week.
