Outrage Over New Yorker Mag's 'Repulsive' Body-Shaming Of Trump

The prestigious New Yorker magazine is under fire for its latest cover, which depicts President Trump addressing reporters in the nude in an unflattering illustration that mocks his appearance.
The cover photo was obviously aimed at mocking Trump's appearance and the magazine was criticized after it tweeted an early look at the image. Critics said the image was disgusting and repulsive.

One Twitter user wrote: "I dislike Trump, but they could have done without the body shaming. Especially considering that is a culture we are all trying to get away from."

Collin Rea tweeted: I get that, but as someone who is VERY Anti-Trump, displaying him as a flesh colored blob is 100% body shaming, and its something that Trump himself would do. We can be better than that."

"Shame on you for doing this to anybody, not just the president," a reader replied to the magazine’s tweet.

Conservative commentator Britt McHenry told Fox News that the cover is another sign of "intolerance and mean spirited behavior" from the liberal media.

McHenry said: "Why is his weight relevant? There has been a lot of turbulence within the White House Administration the past couple weeks with high profile people resigning. Focus on what actually matters, if criticism is all the media wants to project."

According to The New Yorker magazine, the illustration by Barry Blitt "recalls the prophet Bob Dylan, who once noted, in 'It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),' that 'even the President of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked,' "

"I wanted to address President Trump’s stormy relationship with the press," Blitt said.

Art Editor Francoise Mouly wrote that the illustration was selected from a group that included images of school shootings and the death of Stephen Hawking.
