The upcoming cover of The New Yorker depicts President Trump in a boat with sails that resemble the hood of a Ku Klux Klansmen.
The cover art, titled "Blowhard" by artist David Plunkert, focuses on Trump's statements Tuesday in which he blamed "both sides" for violence caused by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend that left one dead and dozens injured.
Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the protest that included neo-Nazis.
“President Trump’s weak pushback to hate groups — as if he was trying not to alienate them as voters — compelled me to take up my pen,” Plunkert said in a press release.
“A picture does a better job showing my thoughts than words do; it can have a light touch on a subject that’s extremely scary.”

This will boost him 5 points :)
The msm SO OEVERPLAYED its card.
Thank God they NEVER know when to stop.
Maybe we can primary out some GOPe traitors next time around.
Wouldn’t that be awesome for a change. But, I’m still concerned there are enough wishy washy types that may fall for the constant barrage of lies. We shall see. Others of us, it just strengthens our resolve.
Yawn...ridiculous, absurd fake news cover on a fake news magazine. Who cares. Trump team should just use this kind of propaganda as extra motivation to crush the democrats in 2018 and 2020.
And the white, affluent New Yorker audience will eat it up with a spoon, not realizing that the major portion of the country has had it up to here with divisiveness and identity politics. This’ll soon be another cast-away hope in the “THIS time it’s the end of Trump” saga...
Keep it up.
I’m sure your liberal fanbois will eat it up. But by showing their true colors, they are just turning off the rest of Americans, and they will keep them in Trump’s control, despite what they may think about Trump.
that should “and they will keep them in Trump’s corner...”
Uggh, I wish I could edit my posts.
Man they didn’t stop DAY AND NIGHT for a YEAR before the election.
Trump still won :)
51 percent of the people are smart enough to see through this.
At least 51. I’m figuring Trump got 53 percent of the vote if you deduct the 5 million illegal votes.
A number that I must admit, before the facts came out, that I thought was absurdly high.
Oh, like I saw someplace yesterday that the co-author of Art Of The Deal says Trump is prepping to resign? That kind of “The End Is Near!”.
Remember that time they did same cover with Sen. Byrd, an actual KKK member?
Yeah, me either.
Silly. He belonged to the good part of the kkk. ;-)
Trump should probably rephrase his Charlottesville remarks and can do so without capitulating to the Left. He can still strongly denounce Antifa while strongly denouncing the neo-Nazis. He should just address the nation and he can still proclaim his independence from the press that is a President’s choice.
Trump needs to just move on, he’s said enough. It’s not his problem that the media choses to twist his words.
Popcorn and and a few boxes of ammo for the idiot show that this weekend promises to be.
The radical self identification of America Haters continues.
What was his prediction during the election campaign?
Donald Trump will impose martial law if he wins, says `Art of the Deal' ghostwriter
I just hate seeing our folks get hurt.
Like I said, if we’re gonna do rallies, make sure the man count is high and blackjacks are in pockets.
Oh...my mistaKKKe!
At Byrd's funeral, Bill Clinton gave a eulogy in which he justified Byrd's membership in the Klan. It's funny how the left didn't have a problem with that.
Very considerate of Liberals/Democrats to be kickstarting Donald’s campaign even earlier this time round.
If this keeps up for the next two years The Don’s an absolute certainty for a second term in office.
