There’s a thread running right now about Trump and the Nobel peace prize , which made me think about the other huuuuge prize which Trump desperately covets—Time magazine’s Man Of The Year..
The big difference of course is that unlike the Nobel, Trump actually deserves to win Time’s designation. It’s sad, but true–Trump meets the criterion of being the one person who has had the most impact on the world this year.
Now…let the fun begin!!
Let’s assume that the editors at Time hate Trump as much as everybody at the Dope, but begrudgingly realize that they have no choice but to name him as Man of the Year.
So let’s play editor, and design an issue of Time magazine which will honor Trump with the title, but will also humiliate him, insult his ego, and totally piss him off at the same time!
I propose that the cover photo not be a photo, but a drawing.–a caricature.
Trump’s face, superimposed over a map of the world-- a spherical globe, made of glass, and cracking into thousands of pieces, so that Trump’s face is full of lines and though easily recognizable, looks like he has a bunch of scars from knife cuts.
Or maybe his face isn’t drawn completely—it would be broken into many pieces, each a separate image scattered among the shards of glass falling off the globe.
The caption could say “Trump–Man Of The Year, Destroyer of the world order.”.
Or here’s a second thought I just had. Sometimes there is no “Man” of the year. There have been years where non-animate objects have won.( I remember once “the computer” was listed as “invention of the year”, etc)
So maybe Time could have “new world order” of the year. Then the cover photo could emphasize the shattered glass globe, and show just part of Trump’s face, cut and bleeding.,
What better ideas do you suggest?
