President Trump collects magazine covers, but he probably won't want to keep these.
The latest from the Economist depicts the president bellowing into a white, conical megaphone — with eye holes that lend the appearance of a Ku Klux Klan hood. The clear implication is that Trump has amplified the message of white supremacists by failing to treat them as any more blameworthy than the counterprotesters with whom they clashed in Charlottesville last weekend.
Time magazine's new cover image features a boot-clad white man behind an American flag, held aloft at a 45-degree angle by a pole whose ornament is an outstretched hand, creating the effect of a Nazi salute.

Pretty shocking stuff, especially from The Economist. More and more are turning against him.

Trump will likely hang on to the Nazis and the Klan.

Everyone else seems to be, shall we say, distancing themselves.

There's like 6000 KKK people left in the whole country. Why is the liberal media glorifying them?

Why is your president supporting them?

The reason is, because those hate/alt groups are becoming emboldened more and more every day. For years, they hid in the shadows and on cliquish internet web sites. But now they are seeing America become so divided that they feel they can come out of the closets and hold their little rallies and attack the other side. They want us to know they are there.

And, by all estimates, there are a lot more than 6,000 of them. It has been reported that some of those wacko websites, where they openly hate blacks and Jews, have memberships in the 100,000 range. That is a whole lot of hateful people who are starting to flex their muscles, as we have seen in Charlottesville.

Make no mistake about it, these groups want everyone except white people gone.........no Asians, no blacks, no Jews, no Mexicans, etc......just them on their little island called America. For some of these idiots, even Donald Trump is too weak to be their leader, they want a REAL Nazi in charge.

Another twisted President bashing thread from a mouthpiece of the left echoing today's misleading liberal headlines.

And it accomplishes what? All it does is feed hate.

During the his two terms, Obama was attacked and bashed mercilessly by the right...and he was infinitely more Presidential than the current officeholder. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it is complete hypocrisy to start bellyaching. Trump failed the simplest of tasks as president...to acknowledge that Nazis hold all of the culpability for Charlottesville, and that their is no place in this country for their toxic ideology.

But they don't "hold all the culpability..."

So there goes the defense.

Next?

The New Yorker's upcoming cover is Trump on a sailboat that has a triangular white sail with two eye-holes cut in it. Very appropriate.
