Trump drowns in TIME's latest cover, Twitterati is in awe
The latest TIME cover featuring USA President Donald Trump has got everyone talking, unsurprisingly. The striking cover has the POTUS struggling to catch a breath as his Oval House is drowning, with the words 'In Deep' written. A number of controversies (the biggest one being Michael Cohen pleading guilty) have made Trump's paradise turbulent. And now TIME cover has given more fodder to netizens.
How much worse can it get: TIME's cover wonders
On TIME covers, Oval Office first faced storm, then drowned
This one sort of completes the intermittent series of TIME covers. Within weeks of his presidency, a TIME cover having words 'Nothing To See Here' showed Trump sitting amid a storm in the Oval Office, and his hair being swept away. Next, TIME used the same image for another cover, but Trump's office was shown submerging in water with just one word: Stormy.
What was the artist's idea behind this cover
The thought-provoking TIME covers are the work of Brooklyn based artist Tim O'Brien. In February 2017, when he designed the first cover, he assumed the chaos won't last long. But the never-ending headlines proved him wrong, and he felt storm metaphor was relevant. About the latest cover, he said, "To have him (Trump) at the top suggests he's still fighting despite the deepening issues."
Context: Michael Cohen's admission of guilt increases Trump's problems
This another brave cover comes close to heels of Cohen's admission that he paid adult star Stormy Daniels money to remain quiet about an alleged affair with Trump. The President confessed the pay-off but denied claims that he used campaign money. A few days ago, Trump tweeted he wouldn't recommend the services of Michael Cohen to anyone looking for a good lawyer.
It is Twitter which is highly amused by cover
Twitter users couldn't stop praising TIME's courage. One user @tammariablue tweeted: This cover is brilliant! Bravo @TIME. Best trilogy since the original Star Wars. Another @screamfan422 wrote: This is badass!! Another excellent cover @TIME! I'm ready for the one with Trump almost completely underwater with sharks chewing his legs & eels wrapped around his neck & a stingray ready to strike. I love nature.
