HATEFUL: New Yorker, Economist Covers Both Show Trump With KKK Hood

John Bickley

The covers of the latest issues of both The New Yorker and The Economist make the same unsubtle, incendiary statement: President Donald Trump is deliberately empowering white supremacists.

The New Yorker cover shows Trump in a small sail boat, his voice filling the sail, which is shaped like the iconic KKK hood, eye-holes, pointed top and all. The Economist cover shows Trump speaking through a megaphone that likewise looks like the hood of a Klansman. Neither cover appears to have any text referencing the inflammatory image.
