New York magazine cover brands Trump a ‘loser’

New York magazine cover brands Trump a ‘loser’

The cover of New York magazine’s election issue. (New York)

Donald Trump has been on so many magazine covers in this campaign that he says he doesn’t have enough room on the walls of his Trump Tower office to display them all. But chances are the Republican nominee wouldn’t want to put this one up, anyway.

New York magazine created a striking cover of Trump for its new election issue, enlisting Barbara Kruger — the artist behind its iconic Eliot Spitzer cover — to brand the brash Manhattan real estate mogul and unlikely GOP White House hopeful a “loser.” (Trump has long been obsessed with the concept of winning, and frequently brands his foes as “losers.”)

According to New York magazine editor in chief Adam Moss, the latest cover can be interpreted in several different ways.

“As Trump speaking (single word epithets being his specialty); as a description of Trump; and as a call on the election result,” Moss explained on the magazine’s website. “On this latter point, who knows — and we confess to being a little rattled when the … news [of FBI Director James Comey’s letter] broke just as were shipping it. But in the end we felt that the power of Kruger’s image transcended any one meaning you could read into it.”
