Whoever did the new Trump cover of the Economist, give them the rest of the week off
Not the first newspaper or magazine front page we’ve featured among these posts, but this has got to be up there with the best.
It’s the new edition of the Economist which, as you might expect, is preoccupied like everyone else with Donald Trump and his war on Iran.
And they don’t say it much better than this.
The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser https://t.co/UUNQjqewMl pic.twitter.com/qYyimeEMjp

Bravo, people!

They say a picture can say a 1000 words.

Understand that the one thing trump cannot stand is to look weak or be mocked. A personality like that will burn the world to avoid that. https://t.co/P8jssGTdFx

Perfect.
Everybody loses. China comes out somewhat ahead but dismayed by the chaos. OK…Russia wins.
But literally everybody else in the world is worse off. And there's no backsies. https://t.co/4g8TwAhzzs

Not everyone appreciated it …
If we lost the war it would undermine him.
Which is why the media is hell bent on saying Iran has a fighting chance left and the American military is losing.
Unbelievable considering we sunk their entire Navy and our ships don’t have a single battle scar. https://t.co/MTTbtilF1a
