And, especially, why the portrait is a subversive work of political art.

Hopefully, this won't result in vituperation, flame wars and enmity.

I would probably never have noticed this without having it pointed out to me. I wonder how many people are pouring over back issues of Time and other magazines trying to find similar examples with other public figures.

The only related example that comes to my mind is Martha Mitchell; I always remember that in all the pictures of her than I saw, her mouth was open. This could not be a coincidence, the editors were trying to say something.

Sophomoric drivel IMO.

Mention Trump, expect flames. ;)

But in regard to the "horns", look at the cover when Bill Clinton won. Subtle, but serious devil horns.

Looks like Political Pareidolia to me.

Honestly, unless someone pointed it out, I would not have paid attention to the letters and the shapes they form.

On both covers "Time” is positioned in the same manner.
Striking is that now women are allowed in the contest…
