Magazine covers react to convictions of former Trump aides

Time magazine jumped on the news that two former associates of President Donald Trump were convicted of felonies with a cover showing the president “in deep.”
The Sept. 3-10 cover depicts the president as treading water in a flooded Oval Office. It is the latest in a series of covers by Brooklyn artist Tim O’Brien showing Trump facing increasing turmoil.
Time is the first magazine to react to the convictions of Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort and how they impact the president. (See articles by CNN and the Huffington Post.)
Others are sure to follow.

Update (Sept. 1): I’m including covers reacting to the latest Trump scandal news from the New Yorker, the Week and the Weekly Standard.

Meanwhile, the Economist featured a photo of Trump on its Aug. 25-31 cover with the headline “Above the law?”
And as a bonus, the New York Post newspaper had fun with its Aug. 24 cover about the news that National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is cooperating with federal investors. Pecker is a Trump ally.
