The American magazine TIME has released an interactive cover titled "TIME’s new Inauguration cover: Donald Trump’s disruption is back", generating significant impact. The cover shows the presidential desk in the White House, cluttered with papers symbolizing the accumulated work during Joe Biden's term.
On this occasion, Trump returns to the White House to assume his second term, marking a milestone in the political history of the country. The gesture of disorder on the cover reflects the disruptive personality that Trump has shown throughout his political career and promises to mark his second term. The magazine also published an article titled "Donald Trump’s Disruption Is Back", analyzing the impact of his return to the presidency and the challenges he will face in his second term.
In a brief animation, Trump's figure appears determinedly pushing everything off the table, accompanied by the text "He’s back". The article draws parallels between his first inaugural speech and those of past presidents like George Washington, highlighting how each leader has recited the same 35 words of commitment to the rule of law in the face of the country's changes.
TIME highlights the challenges for Trump in his second term, indicating that these have grown exponentially, both within the United States and globally, accumulating over decades and being difficult to manage by a single leader or nation. Among these challenges are transnational forces such as migration, organized crime, and pandemics, issues that Trump has promised to address in his new term in the White House.
This special edition of TIME underscores Trump's disruptive nature and the uncertainty surrounding his return to power, anticipating a period of significant changes and tensions both inside and outside the United States.
