The former president’s vision of America’s future is terrifying and apocalyptic
In the trial, we see who Trump was; at his campaign rallies, we see who Trump is; and in his Time interview, in which he shared schemes about “an imperial presidency,” we see who Trump would be. Photo Illustration by Rachel Stern/The New York Times; Photograph by Haiyun Jiang/The New York TimesWhen I worked at Time magazine in the early 1980s, I bought a frame at the company gift shop that was a mock-up of the Time Man of the Year cover, but it was Mother of the Year.
The red border of the faux covers was skinnier; even my Mother of the Year frame got that detail right. It is telling to read the new Time cover story at this bizarre moment, when Trump is both a grumpy, sleepy defendant in a criminal trial in a city where he once towered, and a confident former president campaigning to get the Oval back and leading in many polls.
Keith Davidson – who negotiated payments for Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to tell their stories in The National Enquirer, which then killed them – testified Thursday about the demimonde. That included a “sex-tape broker” who helped him when he was trying to suppress scandalous stories for other clients, like pro-Hitler reality star Tila Tequila and Charlie Sheen.
In Waukesha, Wisconsin, he talked about how much he loves chicken despite the higher price and then introduced a supporter who owns a vegan restaurant. “I’m not into the vegan stuff”, he said, butchering the pronunciation of the word “vegan”. In the new “If He Wins” Time cover piece, Eric Cortellessa extracted insights from Trump about how far he would go if elected.
