BERLIN: German news magazine Der Spiegel has sparked controversy with a cover depicting US President Donald Trump holding the severed head of the Statue of Liberty in one hand and a bloodied knife in the other. US President Donald Trump is depicted beheading the Statue of Liberty in this illustration on the cover of the latest issue of German news magazine Der Spiegel. — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 4, 2017Here's the New Yorker cover; embarrassingly timid compared to Der Spiegel. “The Spiegel cover is just what Trump needs -image of him which he can use to further his own distorted image of the press,” it said. Saturday’s front cover image harks back to a similar, though less bloody, one used by the New York Daily News in December 2015.
