I realize it’s a simple drawing, but his fingers are waaaaaaaay too long.

Kudos and applause to the Daily News! Great cover.

I’m just going to go full Godwin on the whole matter. It has rarely been more appropriate.
Trump doesn’t believe 14th Amend. people are ā€˜real Americans.’
Trump believes in mass deportations.
Trump proposes tracking down undesirables through their employers.
…and on and on.
Hmmm…wonder what his ā€˜final solution’ would be when he realizes the inefficiency and cost of mass deportations??

Trump will have this cover framed and prominently displayed in his executive offices.

Until Trump starts producing crappy cityscape watercolors we’re all safe.

Although too humble to claim it, his ā€œThe Donald ā€˜Self Portrait’: I Am Revealedā€ captured his very soul:

That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?

They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
But Trump is becoming the Bruno Magli of politics.

This cover one-ups the Tuesday front-page of the Philadelphia Daily News, which depicted Trump as Adolf Hitler.

I’ll quibble with that. They are both brilliant.

I’d like to see a broader contest. It can be quite remarkable how a viscious cover - the Philly DN - can lead to another more savage - the NY DN - from which it quickly goes viral, and pretty soon we’ve got a genre.

It’ll have no effect on existing Trump supporters, but it could influence where the votes of other contestants’ supporters go as the primary process goes on and more drop out.

Too web oriented and that makes it too young a demographic. The kids don’t vote.

God, how I love Darn Old Trump. The bombastic bastard is brilliantly working to make sure a Democrat ends up in the White House. Trump has no chance of being elected and he knows it. He’s never been in it for the office, only to hand the election to Hillary. He’s already crawdadding out of his ā€œpledgeā€ not to run as an independent; recently, he floated the same thing about being treated ā€œfairlyā€ or else!!! Man oh man he must be happy as a pig in slop. Every narcissistic neuron in his rug-covered cranium is on 24-hour orgasm right now. Run, DT, Run!

All Donald aside, it’s inspiring how classic web metaphor and off-beat commentary now dominates the media stage…
Well done, fellow pajama-ists!
