Time Magazine’s August Cover Featuring Trump Is Revealed

A glowing Time cover featuring former President Donald Trump following an assassination attempt is hitting newsstands around the world this week.

The feature article, titled “Attack on Trump,” is prefaced by a historic photo of the Republican leader raising his fist high as blood stains his face near where a high-caliber bullet struck his ear on Saturday. He is pictured rising to his feet in front of an undulating American flag hoisted high into the air while Secret Service agents cower around him to provide protection.

The former president’s brush with death is certain to go down in the annals of America’s darkest periods and represents the first attempt on a current or former president’s life since Ronald Reagan was shot about two months after taking office in 1981. Video from multiple angles shows Secret Service agents responding with weapons drawn and tackling him to the ground while snipers on adjacent rooftops took out the shooter. Before being led off stage, Trump yelled “Fight!” multiple times while pumping his fist, prompting chants of “USA!” from the audience.

Investigators are still probing for a motive behind the assassination attempt by 20-year-old Thomas Crooks who was shot and killed after firing eight rounds from an AR-15 rifle. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle defended a decision to not place an agent on the roof where Crooks stood and on Thursday was confronted by an angry group of Republican senators who promised to interrogate her for the catastrophic security failure. Despite being a registered Republican, those who knew Crooks say he was politically agnostic about both major parties.

In addition to receiving an outpouring of sympathy from Americans and most major Democrats including President Joe Biden, President Trump is also benefitting politically. On Thursday Emerson College released the first post-shooting poll results showing Trump gaining ground in nine key swing states, some of which went for Biden by more than 10% four years ago. He also leads the Democratic incumbent by 6% nationally.

Axios reported that insiders believe President Biden may announce the end of his reelection bid as soon as this weekend, shortly after he recovers from a recent Covid infection. Top allies including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and even former President Barack Obama have all privately encouraged Biden to step aside or remained silent after being warned that their friends were about to do the same.
