TIME Ditches Iconic Image of Trump after Leftists Complain It’s Making Him More Popular
The Daily Fetched ^ | 19 July 2024 | Jason Walsh

Time magazine has decided to change its August cover from the iconic image of Donald Trump raising his fist moments after surviving the assassination attempt after complaints from left-wing media writers that it will help his popularity.

The propaganda rag has now opted to use a monochrome picture of the evacuated rally site, with the words “What Unites Us.”

I think you do that simply by putting a hand out and let them continue to slap it away. His speech was too long but was very friendly. Anyone who is interested in working with him is seeing that he’s willing. When the media continues to call the person we saw last night Hitler people will have a hard time seeing what the heck they are talking about.

The managers of Time magazine must believe we are still in the 1990s, when people actually bought magazines at grocery stores and bookstores. Conservatives have long ago abandoned the legacy media.

More often than not, companies make a decision based on just a few loud complainers. What if we fought back?

What if every FReeper got 10 friends to write a polite 3-line letter to Time asking them to use the photo on the cover?

Something like, Dear Time. I heard you are hesitant to use the photo of a wounded but resolute Trump on your cover. The photo is iconic in that it sends a message to the world that political violence is never acceptable. Please reconsider your decision. Sincerely,

Fight for MAGA!

Can’t have Dt looking good or FJB looking bad.

But that’s not technically election interference . . .

Yes, Time Magazine, if by “us” you mean those of you on the left, a photo of where “us” almost got him and encourage your “us” people to try again is better than Trump’s gesture
to attempted at uniting ALL Americans.

And they don’t see it.

See Tagline for explanation.

You cannot meet whackos half way. There is reality and delusion. How do you unite the two?

Dare I say, who cares? Are people going to not see the image now? That’s etched in the minds of the nation.

Any dramatic image such as the one in question, once seen can not be unseen. That photograph has already traveled around the world and, just like the Kennedy assassination photograph, it is forever etched in the collective memory of the human race!

I have pristine copies of the TWO Special Commemorative Editions of Newsweek, both dated November 8, 2016. One has a photograph of of a smiling Hillary Clinton with the words MADAM PRESIDENT centered above her head. The other Special Commemorative Edition with the same date has a photograph of a smiling Donald Trump with the words PRESIDENT TRUMP centered above his head. Like most everything else, these collectible copies are for sale . . . at the right price!

At this point nothing surprises about the lengths the media goes to to gaslight us. Trump is an American hero that took a bullet, they are cowards hiding in their editing room. Period.

In answer to your questions: NO! Hell NO!

I used to be a liberal Democrat. They don’t give up and they always play rough.

I wish the GOP would abandon the “Stockholm Syndrome’’ with the Dems.

It doesn’t work.
