Trump’s last day in office perfectly immortalised in this brutal cartoon

Trump’s last day in office perfectly immortalised in this brutal cartoon
The New Yorker

President Donald Trump’s term has come to an end and his departure from the White House is imminent.

The New Yorker magazine’s latest cover has bid goodbye to the outgoing president with a depiction of Trump being carried away by a bald eagle, which is a national symbol of the US.

President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is taking place today.

Trump leaves office as the only president to be impeached twice.

The most recent vote in the House of Representatives, on the incitement of insurrection, was taken a week after the US Capitol building was stormed by his supporters.

Congress had been in the process of certifying Biden’s victory at the time.

The outgoing president has repeatedly disputed, without evidence, the results of the 2020 election.

Artist Barry Blitt’s illustration for The New Yorker is called: “A Weight Lifted”.

Many social media users praised the new issue’s cover and shared memes in response.

It follows Blitt’s previous illustrations documenting the president’s administration for the magazine.

The New Yorker was established in 1925.
