Soon after the declaration of the 47th President of the United States, Vanity Fair published a strong image of Donald Trump on its cover. The picture accompanied a list of unethical acts registered under the recent victor.
As Trump looked directly into the camera in the image, the left side of the magazine cover listed his 34 felony counts, 1 conviction, 2 pending cases, 2 impeachments, and 6 bankruptcies. At the end, the magazine noted he’s got 4 more years in the office.
Moreover, Vanity Fair didn’t mention Trump’s name on the cover as a long-standing feud between the publication house and the politician. However, the publication isn’t entirely wrong about Trump’s list of illegal activities.

During his political career, Trump has handled allegations of violence against women, financial fraud, and misappropriation of his office position. Moreover, the politician has denied all of the allegations despite appearing in court for the same reasons.
Additionally, Trump has blamed the media for their constant bias, conspiracies, and acting against his political campaign. During his 2016 Presidential run, Vanity Fair clapped back at the President, causing a dispute with the magazine’s then-longtime editor, Graydon Carter.
Previously, the politician called out Vanity Fair and its editors through his Twitter account and stated that the magazine was in “big trouble” after he was elected President in 2016. He criticized Carter for his apparent lack of talent while covering political news.
Additionally, Trump’s comments came after Vanity Fair wrote, “The allure of Trump’s restaurant is that it seems like a cheap version of rich. It reveals everything you need to know about our next President.“
Donald Trump has yet to address the latest Vanity Fair cover and articles citing the country’s downfall in his reign!
Political critics and writers began working overtime following the election results as they predicted massive economic downfall and democratic issues in the country after Trump took oath in the White House.
During his tenure, Congress impeached Trump twice on charges of abuse of power and causing trouble in the party. The first impeachment came after authorities detected foreign involvement in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.
Later, in 2021, a week before his term expired, the House of Representatives impeached the politician for the second time. With this event, Trump became the first President to face impeachment twice without his party’s support.
Rolling Stone rips into Donald Trump and his victory:

Similarly, after leaving office in January 2021, Trump took government materials to Mar-a-Lago, which the NARA later retrieved. The Department of Justice (DOJ) took over the case for further investigation.
According to an NPR report, the politician had 34 counts of false business records, making him the first President in United States history to have been convicted of criminal charges. He misused over $130,000 and concealed the records he used to influence the 2016 election outcome.
The magazine cover also highlighted Trump’s actions in the 1980s when he owned several casinos in Atlanta. Despite their initial boom, the sector quickly plummeted to the ground, leading to six bankruptcy cases against the President.
Following his controversial win in 2024, many speculated that the DOJ might try to reevaluate his two pending federal cases. Still, others confirmed that the department might not take such actions despite his position.
Despite his denial, Trump has used a large portion of the federal funds to cover significant legal bills, estimated at more than $100 million. He has been receiving most of the funds as donations from supporters to fuel his defense fund.
Additional Information
- The court has declared that Donald Trump cannot pardon himself in legal cases as his powers only apply to federal offenses, not actions violating State Law. Trump’s lawyers have been working to delay his sentencing as much as possible.
- On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will take office as the 47th President, becoming the second President in the country’s history to be elected in non-consecutive terms.
