“My whole life has been disrupted. It’s a national nightmare,” the artist Carter Goodrich says, about his cover for this week’s issue: a painting of the President whom he calls a “dangerous clown.” “I’m still just as stunned now as I was a year ago, on Election Night. I have been asked to work on movies about him. I can’t do it; most satire seems to lighten what feels to me like a dire situation. He’s already a cartoon villain, infantile and strange.”
Il numero del mensile The New Yorker in uscita il trenta ottobre, dedica la copertina al presidente Donald Trump, raffigurato, dal disegnatore Carter Goodrich, come un clown che sbuca da dietro un albero. "È un clown pericoloso, e rappresenta già un cartone animato malvagio, infantile e strano. È un incubo nazionale" sono le parole di Goodrich sul presidente.
