Berlin. One can not claim with certainty That the new title image of the “mirror” has no effect. First of all, the Cover of the Hamburg-based news magazine, on whirled the network, even Overseas. In the United States, many media have discussed the title picture, which shows Trump in a brutal Pose: A blood-smeared knife statue in one Hand and in the other the severed head of liberty.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Trump protesters carry the dramatic Illustration on the road. In several American cities, protesters use the subject to Express their displeasure over the new U.S.-government expression.
The “Washington Post” spoke to the signatory of the cover, Edel Rodriguez, from the spring, this and several similar Trump illustrations. The native Cubans came as a refugee in 1980 in the USA. From his personal history, he criticized the entry ban of the new US President. “I was nine years old when I came here, and I well remember the feelings, how it felt as a small child, to leave my home country,” said Rodriguez of the newspaper.
The free-lance artist who has already designed a title for the prestigious “Time”magazine, explains the Intention of the “mirror”of the drawing. The Statement? “The beheading of democracy, the decapitation of a sacred Symbol,” said Rodriguez, with views of the statue of liberty, the American culture of welcome to represent.
“And of course, what is associated lately with beheadings, the is the IS, so there is a comparison” between the Islamic state and Trump. “Both sides are extremist,” said Rodriguez. Trump provoked in the first two weeks of his term, a lack of understanding and indignation, not least with his seven Islamic countries have imposed entry stop.
In the network outweighs the criticism
In the network outweighed critical voices. The opposite of the news magazine often critical of the set “world” accuses the magazine, for example, that “any moral standards” were in place.
“And I always thought the Germans for her gentle approach,” said Joe Scarborough, presenter of the TV channel NBC on Twitter. “Oh, my God,” wrote his colleague, Bradd Jaffy. Also the newspaper “The Hill”, which reports mainly on the work of the U.S. Congress, to grip the Cover in a report. The Online Portal “Buzzfeed” wrote to the reactions on the Internet, people had been “quite shocked”. But there were also special votes in the network. For example, a Twitter user, who writes: “Hard to see? Yes, but none of us should look the other way.”
“mirror”-the chief explained the symbolism
“mirror”editor-in-chief Klaus brink Baumer said: “On our cover image of the American President is the Symbol, that is, since 1886, migrants and refugees in the United States welcome, and thus democracy and freedom to be beheaded,” he told the German press Agency. On the question of the extent to which the Trump-should remind us of the beheadings by the terrorist militia Islamic state (IS), he remarked.
It is far from the first “mirror”Cover that evokes massive criticism. After a cover image with the headline “stop Putin now!” accused critics of the news magazine, “war drivers”. The editorial office moved to a later position on the allegations.
