Taken together, these elements add up to a profound portrayal of anxiety for the coming years. We have the implicit placement of Trump in the mid-1900s (looking through the Time Magazine cover archives, no images really resemble this cover, save the one seen on the left [a purely visual comparison]). We have a suggestion of the scheming, sordid underside of power. We have the crumbling facade of wealth, which, like “The Picture of Dorian Gray” suggests more than just a physical deterioration.

I’d rather view a fake-creepy doctored picture of President-Elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump than one more shot of 0bama with a frickin’ HALO around his head!
That really does look satanic.
Horns are a symbol of power.
Sometimes it is God’s power which is perfect and almighty power. “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth” Rev 5:6.
Sometimes it is satanic power which is very limited compared to God’s almighty power. “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy” Rev 13:1.
I believe God has brought Trump to power to help America, God’s chosen end-time nation to spread the gospel of the grace of Christ to the world. I also believe Obama’s power has been used to attempt the destruction of America because Satan hates the gospel, God, and America.
Thanks for posting.
I like the article a lot. I am always fascinated with the unconscious messages transmitted in iconic images.
For some reason, the political motives of the writer do not bother me in this instance. I appreciate being informed about certain aspects of the photograph and its composition from the eye of an expert.
Previous non-winners include the #PizzaGating Podestaphile brothers, whom TimeSlime mag-rag HEARTILY endorses!
The #1 thing I notice is the “M” making horns. This is in contrast to all the 0vomit covers where they were careful to photograph him with a “halo”.
They can push all the propaganda they want. Conservatives know what they’re doing and even some of the LIVs are learning.
And given that the only waves the magazine makes nowadays relate to cover images, that's almost literally true.
People leaf through it in dentist offices, but nobody bothers with the articles.
I guess it's like the old Playboy in that way.
So if the cover's supposed to be devilishly clever or not, nobody really cares.
I will note, though, that the last cover, the one with Castro on it, also had him sitting in an armchair, though not one turned to the side like Trump's.
It is interesting to note not just the TIME cover but how other media are choosing to cover him (or not).
I was browsing the magazines while standing in line at the grocery store. “People” had a lengthy article about the movers and shakers of the year. Hitlery was featured and (unless I missed it while paging through), Trump was not! How absurd!
I also noticed that NPR shows are seriously avoiding anything about Trump unless it’s negative. The announcers and writers are apparently in too much pain to even acknowledge his existence. Things like “headlines of the week” which did NOT include the election of Trump!!!
These pathetic left wingers remind me of small children who, when they put their hands in front of their eyes, think that you can’t see them.
“The picture is pure subliminal propaganda.”

It would be effective,maybe,if enough people saw it-——few will.

IIRC the first time I saw fakenews it was a description of the alt-left news outlets, MSM etc
I’ll have to look at #fakenews at twitter
It would be SOP for leftists to try to turn it around on the truth.
#fakenews is more Lying Leftist b/s and deflection subtly trying to take the focus off of the 1 1/2 years of campaign lying and calling it news. The Left are snakes.
“Fake News” is a Leftist term like “crony capitalism” (which is actually government bribes and corruption) to try to take the focus off of leftist corruption and lies.
See my post #69
Good take on the cover.
If we outlaw fake news, it puts @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN @MSNBC @politico @HuffingtonPost out of business. Dem Party loses their base. pic.twitter.com/DdaV5NczkD— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 11, 2016
