The New Yorker front cover just totally nailed Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office
It feels like a lot longer we know, but it’s been 100 days since Donald Trump returned to the White House and of all the front pages that will no doubt mark this moment, it’s hard to believe one will nail it quite so beautifully – and heartbreakingly – as the New Yorker.
It’s by Barry Blitt and went wildly viral after it was shared over on Twitter.

Absolutely perfect, that.
And these people thought so too.
In a searing response to Trump’s first 100 days of his second term, Barry Blitt delivers a haunting New Yorker cover: Lady Liberty, behind bars. A picture worth a thousand fears. #NewYorkerCovers pic.twitter.com/RFQj72fViH

100 days in — and Lady Liberty’s already behind bars. When truth is treason and justice is jailed, tyranny doesn’t knock — it moves in.

It’s been difficult getting through the first one hundred days of the #Trump term without dwelling on the fact that, after that, there still will be another 1,361 days and eleven hours and fifty-nine minutes. Approximately. @NewYorker #BarryBlitt #Democracy pic.twitter.com/6AcBsnDzoq
