Trump came into the White House like a wrecking ball, and now, Time is bluntly calling him and his cabinet out for it.

The magazine's upcoming Nov. 6 cover visually depicts "The Wrecking Crew" that is Trump and his cabinet members, featuring three terrifying Trump-esque wrecking balls with orange skin, golden hair, and big, open mouths.

The Edel Rodriguez illustration accompanies an article titled: "While Trump Is Tweeting, These 3 People Are Undoing American Government as We Know It."

In the piece, Time's Massimo Calabresi examines "How Trump's cabinet is dismantling government as we know it," focusing on the behind-the-scenes action that takes place when the president is preoccupied with things like tormenting the Twitter-verse.

Referencing quotes from former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon — who said Trump's cabinet members were all selected for the purpose of deconstruction back in February — the issue reviews the president's path towards D.C. demolition. It also includes interviews with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt and Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.

The powerful cover was revealed just days after The New Yorker released its "October Surprise" cover, which features Trump as a creepy clown lurking in the woods.

The articles might not paint Trump in the best light, but hey, at least he's finally achieving his dreams of being on some magazine covers.
