TIME Magazine is set to immortalize, in a series of three covers, the horrible week that President Trump just endured.
The first TIME cover in the series shows Donald Trump sitting in the Oval Office. A storm seems to be brewing, but the caption proclaimed ‘Nothing to see here’.
Then the next TIME cover came, submerging all of Trump’s desk in water, rain still thundering from the sky, and just one word written in the middle: ‘Stormy’.
Now, the third TIME cover in this spontaneous series has been released, and Trump’s stoic face has disappeared. He is now at the top of his flooded office, gasping for air.
‘In deep,’ the caption reads.
Taken together, all three TIME covers have shown the trajectory of scandals that have consumed Trump’s term – as the final issue illustrates his wildest week yet.
The White House has been consumed in scandal this week after Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of financial crimes and his former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations – all within minutes apart from each other.
Cohen also claimed that it was Trump who had ordered him to pay hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, who both allege they had past affairs with the businessman, during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The heat of the scandals have become so intense that Trump himself has gone on-air to try and scare voters off impeachment.
“I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor,” he said in a Fox & Friends interview on Thursday.
All three of the TIME covers showing Trump in the Oval Office have been created by Tim O’Brien, a Brooklyn artist who has contributed to the magazine for nearly 30 years.
