The latest cover of the upcoming New Yorker issue has been released, and it’s is a none-too-subtle shot at Trump’s first few months as leader of the nation.
Accompanying a story called “Broken Windows,” the cover image depicts the president decked out in his golf clothes, firing off shots form the South Lawn at the White House, breaking many a window in the process.
Not only that, Trump himself is characterized not as the strong, wise leader he so desperately wants people to think he is, but rather an overweight schlub whose respect for the office in which he serves is about on par with his shoddy aim.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Sounds about right.
After repeatedly criticizing former President Obama about his golf games, Trump has visited his own golf courses an incredible 13 times since taking office in January.
“I see that the word ‘duffer’ is defined as ‘a person inexperienced at something,’ especially at playing golf. That’s the word that comes to mind as I watch President Trump ploughing one drive after another through the glass windows of American politics,” cover artist Barry Blitt said of his work.
Combine this with Time’s choice to go with three words — “Is Truth Dead?” — instead of an image of the president on its recent cover, and we can certainly expect to hear about the failing @TIME and failing @NewYorker any moment now.

Even his cleats are gold.

I’d say it’s pretty accurate

‘Is Truth Dead?’ – not yet. On life support maybe. Trump has taken the practices of Dr.Goebbels – tell a lie and repeat it until it becomes the ‘truth’ – to a whole new level. You see how it works even on this site – his minions constantly distort, deflect and deny truth. Truth and reality are subverted on a daily basis. But truth is truth – however much they try to subvert it.

Does this magazine really cost $8.99?
mj7417
Probably yes. About four years ago, I worked at a grocery store to pay my way through college. Back then, some magazines were $14 to $18, and I don’t live in a big city. It’s ridiculous, but some people pay those prices.

I doubt very many people pay that for it. I’m guessing The NY’er’s mostly read by subscribers, and as a subscriber since the mid-70’s, I can tell you I pay no where near that amount for it.
Juanjo
That’s the rack rate but most people who read New Yorker pay about half that because they have a subscription. This is true of a lot of magazines. Go down to a shop that sells magazines and look at the single issue price and be prepared for a shock to see that for example horny teenagers are paying about the same price for a copy of Hustler. That is if they aren’t smart enough to just look at porn on line.

As poignant as the New Yorker covers are (remember the one of Trump’s outline melting?); they do little to sway the populous. Generally, Trumpets do not read The New Yorker, and (I am generalizing here) The New Yorker is not read much beyond deep blue states. But it;s a comfort zone for those of us to do enjoy the publication.
I do subscribe to and actually READ The New Yorker. The editorials, essays and cartoons are well worth the subscription. The cover price is $8.99, but an annual subscription brings that down to a dollar or so an issue.

We need a president who doesn’t golf at all! Let alone one whose entire life revolves around golf. Trump even wrote (or rather ghost-wrote) a book about golf. And much as I liked Obama, I thought less of him for golfing. We need a president who doesn’t waste time on that stupid game. Golf seems so ridiculously old-fashioned too – and not in a retro cool, Sinatra / martini sort of way – oh and it’s environmentally destructive. I hope golf eventually goes the way of the Ringling Bros./Barnum & Bailey circus.

What a pathetic buffoon.

How can anyone with such a fat, bloated ass make fun of anyone else’s looks. He’s a blimp for god’s sake!

I Loved the Headline I saw over on another site “Confused old Man shows up on golf course for 14th time in 10 weeks”
This New Yorker cover is Perfect!

Borrowed from Joe Turner:
Way you wear those golf pants, the sun come shining through
Way you wear those golf pants, the sun come shining through
I can’t believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you.
Shake, rattle, and roll–Shake, rattle, and roll.
Well, you won’t do nothin’ to save your doggone soul.
