Brilliant New York Post cover perfectly sums up Trump's White House

The White House is a reality TV show.

When the New York Post calls out the president for being an absolute joke, you know you're living in some classy times.

Less than a year into Donald Trump's presidency and it's become clear that the White House is basically a very long and complicated reality TV show. Trump himself is a reality TV star, so we truly should not be surprised.

Things hit an all-time low on Thursday when The New Yorker published an interview with newly appointed communications director Anthony Scaramucci and reporter Ryan Lizza, which was littered with expletives and some seriously trashy trash talking. In response, the New York Post whipped up a cover photo for its Friday edition, and it's just perfect.

The words "outspin" and "outlast" are resting over the title Survivor White House. Above that, Trump is front and center, surrounded by Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Reince Priebus, Rex Tillerson, Jared Kushner, a naked Jeff Sessions, and finally, The Mooch himself.

Missing from the photo is former press secretary Sean Spicer, who was voted off the island earlier this week.

Regardless of your feelings for The Post, the cover is just too good and too real to ignore.

The New York Daily News had its own cover, which was a little more tame than The Post's.
