The Economist Did Not Publish a Cover Showing Trump And Putin in an Apocalyptic Scene
Emerging story
A cover of The Economist magazine depicting Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin against an apocalyptic background went viral on X claiming that it was a recent cover for the American magazine. The cover depicted U.S. and Russian presidents against the background of rockets and a sky red from explosions.
According to the users who shared the claim, the seemingly main theme of the cover is that the West's permission for Ukraine to launch long-range strikes deep into Russia is "the beginning of the Third World War."
An X user shared the cover saying:“The Economist warms up the audience with apocalyptic images. But what does Trump have to do with it if Biden's gang is starting a nuclear war? Apparently, this is what they are going to leave Trump as an inheritance.”
