Donald Trump loves to boast that hes been on the cover of Time Magazine more than anyone else – he hasnt – but he may not be too happy about the latest edition.
The cover, by Time cartoonist, Tim OBrien, is labelled In Deep, and shows the Presidents lower body thrashing around in a flooded Oval office. Its the third in what is obviously a series on the same theme.
The first cover, from February 2017, titled Nothing to See Here.
The second, from April of this year, titled Stormy.
The direction of travel is pretty clear. Times Twitter account has shared the story behind these covers.

Not sure this @TIME cover will make it to the wall of framed magazine covers at Trump's golf course. pic.twitter.com/haZXaInQkh

I can't imagine what will be the final in this series @Time covers, but I imagine it to be something like Shelley Winters in the Poseidon Adventure.#ImpeachTrump #TrumpResign #InDeep #ThursdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/XqzH5CPOXH

Love, love, love the new @TIME cover of #Trump underwater.
The only change I would make is that it should be swampy toilet water.#SwampCreature #TrumpIsToast pic.twitter.com/MTz9Ikew7n— A Liberal Marine (@USMCLiberal) August 24, 2018
