Donald Trump Featured on Vanity Fair Cover Highlighting His Legal and Financial Troubles

Following his historic victory in the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump is set to appear on the cover of Vanity Fair, a publication that is not shying away from highlighting his extensive legal and financial issues. The cover, unveiled on November 6, features a close-up shot of Trump, juxtaposed with a list of his significant troubles, including 34 felony counts, 1 conviction, 2 pending cases, 2 impeachments, and 6 bankruptcies.

Trump’s election victory marks a remarkable comeback, as he becomes the second president in U.S. history to win two non-consecutive terms, a feat last achieved by Grover Cleveland in 1892. Despite his legal and financial baggage, Trump secured key swing states such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, and is projected to win the popular vote, a first for a Republican since 2004.

The Vanity Fair cover has sparked a mixed reaction online, with some users expressing sorrow and outrage over the election of a convicted felon to the nation’s highest office, while others have defended Trump and criticized the media for what they perceive as biased coverage.

Trump’s victory speech, delivered in West Palm Beach, Florida, emphasized his promises to stop illegal immigration and improve the economy. He also praised his supporters and vowed to unite the country through “success”.

The cover story by Vanity Fair is part of a broader media response to Trump’s victory, with various publications offering their unique perspectives on his historic comeback. Other notable covers include those from Time magazine, Newsweek, and the New York Post, each highlighting different aspects of Trump’s win.
