Well, Ted, Mr Trump was born in Queens, was he not ? He comes by that Weltanscauung naturally….
Henri
Damn, I note that I inadvertently left out an «H» – make that Weltanschauung ; otherwise mein verehreter Lehrer will rap me over the knuckles with his ruler !…

Alt Right—Old Right— Alt Recht.
Coincidence? Deeper meaning? Or dog whistle to the 88 (HH) crowd?
Mr. Rall, what magazine cover are you parodying here?
I love your work (both the cartoons and your essays), keep up the good work!
The iconic cover of the 29 May 1976 issue….
Henri
Damn, you’re good!
I never would have known without that link!
«I never would have known without that link!» Thank you, mein verehrter Lehrer, praise from you is praise indeed ! But I don’t wish to take too much credit – while I was familiar with the cover and could see it clearly with my mind’s eye and had the feeling that it was published around forty years ago, I certainly didn’t recall the exact date ; as they say, Google is your friend (if, that is, one has friends that report everything one does to the NSA)….
Another New Yorker cover that might, however, be in fresher memory is the a href=”http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2008-07-21-blitt-obama_p323.jpg”>fist-bump cover to the 14 July 2008 issue of the magazine ; as I recall, it waked a great deal of controversy at the time….
Henri
Damn ! That should, of course, have been fist-bump cover to the 14 July 2008 issue of the magazine….
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa….
Henri
Not my best day ; let’s see if third time ’round with a different URL does it : fist-bump cover to the 21 July 2008 issue of the magazine….

@ mhenriday –
You’re trying too hard. I got it from the first post by copy & paste:

In any event, interesting to compare that b>New Yorker cover from 2008 to the magazine’s current adulation of the Obama pair….
Henri
It’s a meme!
Alas, Ruben Bolling’s geography is about as dodgy as Ms Palin’s (in Tina Fey’s version). Pity that he can’t drop that convenient Russian/Putin-control-of-Trump meme….
