New Yorker cover shows hounds 'closing in' on Trump

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/403409-new-yorker-cover-shows-hounds-closing-in-on-trump


The New Yorker on Friday teased a photo of its upcoming cover, which features President Trump walking through the woods being followed by hounds.

The cover, titled "Closing In" by Barry Blitt, comes after a week of bombshell revelations in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe and other investigations of former Trump confidants.

.... shit ton load of crap in his pants also !

It will make it that much easier for the hounds to track him, just follow the stink.

The scrutiny one is subject to in the Office of the Presidency is the last thing Mafioso trDump and his crime syndicate really needs.

Mueller is about to give this dirty little thug a bubble bath.

...because he actually had an axe to grind with Trump himself. What better way to torture him than with the white hot glare of public scrutiny before he takes him completely down? In the meantime, he got Trump to wreck our position in the world on many fronts.

I can picture Putin enjoying the downfall of his useful idiot once Trump has served his purpose.

The Magnitsky Act still stands, continuing to undermine Russian oligarchs’ abilty to launder their illegal money. I doubt that Trump will be able to accomplish that goal because this seems to be the only point where Republicans refuse to bow down to him. So will Putin cut his losses and decide that he cannot gain much more from Trump? I also find it interesting that Putin dumped at least some U.S. dollars in favor of buying gold. What is he planning that might undermine the dollar?

realizes Trump can't help him on the Magnitsky Act and that he can't bribe/blackmail enough republicans to do the job, I picture him playing with his American puppet like a caged rat. Might as well have some fun while he's at it, then he can cut him loose.

I didn't realize that Putin was dumping U.S. dollars.That certainly is a cause for concern.

Cheeto is no use to to him, might as well let the hounds have him.
One more reason why the Magnitsky Act was the RIGHT THING to do!
Putin can dump all the dollars he wants, it doesn't mean shit to us.

letting compromising material on Trump "leak" to the media, then sitting back and watching the Trump meltdown. Meanwhile, he has caused probably more damage than he could have hoped for.

As for the dumping the U.S. dollars, I am concerned about what Putin's hackers can do to our financial institutions, not to mention our electrical grids and power plants as well.

Many people think interfering in our elections was an act of war. With Putin, it isn't always apparent what his long game is. Breaking up the EU and NATO, plus ending sanctions against Russia are on the top of the list. After the last couple years, I am expecting the unexpected.

I've heard it before but was now tempted to look it up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whom_the_gods_would_destroy)

From the Greek and a slightly different viewpoint but still accurate to describe the dump:

"evil appears as good in the minds of those whom gods lead to destruction"

to himself that he’d torment the bastard before he allowed Don the Con to be brought down in the most embarrassing, humiliating fashion possible for a narcissist like tRump. You gotta know that dealing with tRump at any level is enough to make you hellbent to pay him back in kind.

He could have lived his grifter life in relative peace had he not undertaken the biggest ego trip of his life. Now, we will watch with glee as his family and he are taken down.
