Time magazine’s attempt to skewer former President Donald Trump has led to a backlash against the magazine in the aftermath of Sunday’s assassination attempt.
Time’s cover was designed to add to the media chorus proclaiming that the arrival of vice President Kamala Harris on the scene as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate has led to Trump’s campaign facing trouble — particularly following a contentious presidential debate.
The cover showed Trump in a golf cart, stuck in a sand trap and looking forlorn as he tries to escape.

“Coincidence?” mused noted Trump ally Laura Loomer. “Or coordination?”
Many on social media were not amused with the cover, to them, carrying an eerie prescience of what was to come Sunday when a gunman crept into the bushes at the Trump International Golf Course and waited for 12 hours.
Ryan Routh, 58, was later arrested after a Secret Service agent saw a rifle poking through the trees as Trump was approaching and shot at the potential shooter, sparking a flight that ended with Routh’s arrest.

The U.K. Daily Mail reported that Time removed the cover from its vault of past covers.
In a Truth Social post, Trump rebuked those who have stoked violence against him.
“The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust,” Trump wrote.
“Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” Trump added.
