1. “The new European”
Following the events of January 6, when hundreds of supporters of the former president stormed the Washington Capitol, the magazine ‘The New European’ made a cover with the title “Demokracy” and with the face of the tycoon disguised as Jake Angeli.
The latter was the man identified as the conspiracy theorist of the Capitol Dam.
Angeli burst into the building with a particular pint: the naked torso, covered in animal skins, horns on his head, and the flag of the United States painted on his face. The conspirator was arrested days later and charged with various crimes related to the attack.
Trump was illustrated by the magazine in the same attire of the perpetrator. This given that the riots, which caused five deaths and multiple injuries, were encouraged weeks earlier by the tycoon, who insisted on the existence of fraud in the November presidential election that gave Joe the victory. Biden.
“What next for america, and the world?” (What’s next for the United States and the world?), The magazine wrote referring to the rupture of American democracy that occurred after the unfortunate event.

2. “The New Yorker”
In March 2020 ‘The New Yorker’ magazine made a strong critique of the use that Donald Trump was giving to the use of the covid-19 pandemic in the United States.
By this time the tycoon refused to enact a mandatory quarantine in the United States despite already having a large number of infected.
One of the biggest criticisms of the then president was that he prioritized the country’s economy over the lives of citizens, underestimated the virus, and took steps to prevent it from spreading.
The cover satirically showed these criticisms, illustrating one Trump blindfolded and shouting, in allusion to the fact that the former president was not paying attention to reality.
Until this January 19, when it was his last full day as president, the death toll from covid-19 disease exceeded 400,000. For its part, the infections recorded to date were more than 23 million.
