German magazine brutally trolls Trump on Snapchat over the fake Time cover
German media really doesn't pull punches when it comes to Donald Trump.
Following a report by the Washington Post that the U.S. president adorns the walls of several of his properties with a fake Time magazine cover featuring his portrait, Der Spiegel went on the offensive.
The mag's Snapchat team decided one fake Trump cover wasn't enough, so it produced a series of hilariously cheeky spoof covers:

Let's dissect all the references, shall we?
LIFE magazine's famous Aug. 11, 1969, Special Edition: 'To the Moon and Back'
Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' album cover
Wendy horse magazine
Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album cover
Anthony Burgess' 'A Clockwork Orange' book cover
Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' album cover
Justin Bieber
And Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album
This isn't the first time Der Spiegel has savagely trolled Trump.
A graphic cover featuring the words "America first" was published in February after Trump's announcement of a wide-reaching immigration ban targeting Muslims.

That image, of a roaring Trump bloodily beheading the nation's greatest symbol of its immigrant masses, was drawn by a man who came to the U.S. as a political refugee.
Edel Rodriguez arrived to the U.S. from Cuba as a child, so for him, the new president's policies have struck an even more personal note, the Washington Post reports.
"I was 9 years old when I came here, so I remember it well, and I remember the feelings and how little kids feel when they are leaving their country,” Rodriguez told the Post. “I remember all that, and so it bothers me a lot that little children are being kept from coming to this country."
Time representative Kerri Chyka confirmed to the Washington Post in an email that the magazine cover is fake.
The U.S. president has been known to lie about that. He has claimed before that he has "the all-time record [of cover photos] in the history of Time magazine," which is, of course, not true. Former President Richard Nixon, for example, has appeared on Time's cover 55 times.
