President Donald Trump is on the cover of TIME magazine over immigration and the separation of children at the border:

Chaser…
Here’s a photoshopped version from Benny Johnson which TIME should have run in 2014, but of course, did not:
Obama separated families at the border.
Obama housed unaccompanied minors in tent cities & in cages.
Obama prosecuted hundreds of thousands for illegal border crossings.
Obama deported millions.
Where was this TIME cover then?(Yes, the children in cages photo was taken in 2014) pic.twitter.com/uywXO4FIBi

To answer TIME’s question of “what kind of country are we?” The answer is, “the same as Obama’s.”
But they did cover Obama during the border crisis of 2014 … just not the same way they’re covering Trump:

Also from 2014, Obama is the good guy!

But, alas … the accurate cover on Obama will never make it to the floor of Congress like the Trump one has already done:
