Magazine Cover Puts A World Of Hurt On Trump's First 100 Days

The Economist is counting the days until President Donald Trump’s second term is over.

In a blistering cover this week, the outlet portrayed a wounded and bandaged symbolic eagle under the headline “Only 1,361 Days To Go.”



That would be the amount of time left in Trump’s presidency after his first 100 days is up at the end of the month. He has spent his first months dismantling government agencies, sparking a trade war, defying the courts over deportations and trying to strong-arm Ukraine into submitting to its invader, Russia.

The Economist summed up his strategy in the cover story, which examines the “lasting harm” he has already done:

The one "gift" of malignant narcissists--the ability to deny anything & everything while blaming others.

My guess is he would read it as "look what the world had done to us".

Heck, I’d expect him to be secretly afraid of Big Bird at this point. After all, Big Bird is much taller than the donald is.

Lying on the ground, with Trump’s boot/shoe on its neck with a bunch of GOPers standing around smiling/applauding.

That pretty much how I see this travesty.

Republicans, alt-right, far right, MAGA, has always been wrong, either with their predictions or statements of fact. Their policy ideas are failures, their governance are failures, and most of their businesses are failures mostly or wholly dependent on government business, hand outs or bail outs, and they're almost universally morally bankrupt.

You want presidents to serve three terms, mofos? Okay.

Not that Obama would run, but he'd beat the orange turd handily.

Hope the Eagle will Still Be Alive and able to Heal💜
