Time magazine wasted no time showing a future front page following the conviction of former President Donald Trump in a secret trial Thursday.
The publication published the cover of its June 24 edition, featuring a new illustration by Cuban-American artist Edel Rodriguez, several weeks earlier on X, formerly Twitter.
The image shows a hammer being brought down on a sound block, which itself is an abstract interpretation of the preemptive GOP presidential candidate’s face:
Rodriguez mockingly portrayed Trump for the outlet on multiple occasions, showing the convicted ex-POTUS literally melting, like a peach during his first indictment for extortion from Ukraine and like a wrecking ball dismantling the government.
In 2018, Rodriguez marked Trump’s first year in office with this illustration of the then-president’s hair like fire:
He also addressed Trump’s disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic with this photo of himself and a misplaced mask:
For the German newspaper Der Spiegel, Rodriguez depicted Trump as a madman decapitating the Statue of Liberty, an asteroid heading toward Earth and wearing a Klu Klux Klan hood.
Rodriguez, who fled Cuba for America as a child, told HuffPost in 2017 that his antipathy toward Trump came from growing up under a brutal dictatorship on the Caribbean island.
