The Economist Cover Shows Trump Throwing Molotov Cocktail
NewsBusters ^ | February 4, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

The Economist magazine, based in the United Kingdom, must have been jealous of the deranged cover of Der Spiegel featuring Donald Trump holding a bloody machete in one hand and the head of the Statue of Liberty in the other hand. In order to attempt to surpass them in the field of Trump derangement they have featured Trump throwing a Molotov cocktail on their cover. In fact The Economist editors are so proud of their TDS artwork that they have even featured it at the top of their twitter feed.

Their lead story, An insurgent in the White House, matches the derangement of the cover:

The Economist, which used to be a fairly readable and informative mag, has become part of the MSM — and
has been wildly anti-Trump since the start.

The Economist lives in a dismal swamp.

Globalists. They overreached and now they’re having a temper tantrum.

Their temper tantrum may just take this country down because it is practiced unopposed by any security agency.

That’s a valid concern.

I used to subscribe years ago. I cancelled my subscription forever in 2008 when I saw this cover:

The Economist became ridiculous during the Brexit campaign, and are just getting worse.

I used to buy a gift subscription for my dad. He is fed up and said not to renew.

The conflict is much simpler than most make it out to be. The Economist is a globalist organ, and the nationalist Donald Trump is their mortal enemy. The Globalists have controlled the White House for 28 years and still can’t believe that none of their candidates could defeat Trump. Their fight is not over.

Yep...that’s it...I knew it was true when I first saw it but new people would NOT take it seriously.

The BIG FEAR by liberals and socialists all over the world, is...

That Trump will succeed with his economic agenda, and his world-changing foreign diplomacy.

Nothing is more scary to the liberals and socialists, than to have someone prove that socialism and communism, are totally bunk and out-of-step with what people really need.

The fear they have is that, they will have been moved to total irrelevancy. Thus, what we see is their delusional and crazy rants and actions, and they’ll do what they’ve always done, and that is “whatever it takes” to get their way.

the deranged cover of Der Spiegel featuring Donald Trump holding a bloody machete in one hand and the head of the Statue of Liberty

The funny thing is that that cover was drawn by an American who came to the US from Cuba in 1980 as a...(cough)...'political refugee'.

trump-beheads-the-statue-of-liberty-in-striking-magazine-cover-illustration

Edel Rodriguez came to the United States from Cuba as a political refugee in 1980. Like many immigrants, he was angered by President Trump's executive order temporarily banning entry to the United States for travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries and refugees from around the world. “I was 9 years old when I came here, so I remember it well, and I remember the feelings and how little kids feel when they are leaving their country,” Rodriguez said. “I remember all that, and so it bothers me a lot that little children are being kept from coming to this country.” Unlike most immigrants, however, Rodriguez channeled his anger into a piece of art that is now on the cover of one of the world's leading magazines.

So much for that "Cubans are conservatives" meme...

Anyway, Der Spiegel's circulation numbers are dropping like a rock...they're getting desperate and perhaps think stunts like that will help...not!
