The Economist is based in London so any particular anti-Trump positions aren't necessarily surprising, but in recent years TDS has caused the magazine to start morphing more into The Daily Beast or The Atlantic when it comes to U.S. politics. But they also have been dabbling in comedy. Here's one such example from last year:
In its own plodding way, the continent has created a place where people are guaranteed rights to what others yearn for: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

They'll throw you in jail over memes but sure.
So much of the media, along with Democrats like Sen. Chris Murphy, have been basically sounding like cheerleaders for the Iranian regime while claiming that the U.S. is losing. Earlier this week I thought Brit Hume explained why that is a ridiculous claim:

Anybody who says all that means the U.S. is "losing" needs to check their TDS at the door.
That leads me to The Economist's latest cover.
The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser https://t.co/UUNQjqewMl pic.twitter.com/qYyimeEMjp

Are these tools trying to sell some subscriptions to whatever remains of the Iranian regime?
The Australian did it right:
The Blind Economist.

The Economist and many other media outlets would rather provide a morale boost to the regime than spotlight its victims, all because they loathe Trump. Pathetic.
