'The New Yorker' Magazine unveils next week's 'Man of Conviction' Trump cover and people are loving it.

After former President Donald Trump became the first ex-president to be convicted of felony crimes, The New Yorker unveiled its latest magazine cover to mark the historic moment.

The publication's official account on X, formerly Twitter, shared a photo of next week's cover titled "A Man of Conviction," which shows Trump holding out his arms so his very, very tiny hands can be placed in handcuffs.

The "tiny hands" jab dates back more than 30 years but gained prominence during the 2016 presidential election cycle.

Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who at the time was vying for the 2016 presidential nomination, made headlines after he issued the following response to reporters amid Trump's constantly referring to Rubio as "little Marco":

"He is taller than me, he's like 6' 2", which is why I don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5' 2". Have you seen his hands? And you know what they say about men with small hands—you can't trust them."

Those words revived a criticism that harked back to the 1980s. Graydon Carter, then the editor of Vanity Fair magazine, described Trump in Spy magazine as a “short-fingered vulgarian.”

People knew exactly what The New Yorker was up to—and they were here for it.



A New York jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election. The jury reached its verdict after a day and a half of deliberations.

Trump was still and did not speak when the jury read its verdict. However, outside the courtroom, he addressed reporters, labeling the trial as a "rigged, disgraceful trial" and asserting that the "real verdict" will come on Election Day this November.

Trump's attorney Todd Blanche said that Trump will appeal the verdict on the grounds that Judge Juan Merchan did not recuse himself.

Blanche noted that he had filed two separate motions requesting Judge Merchan to recuse himself from the trial. "It’s not fair," he said, stressing the importance of impartiality in the judicial process. By all accounts, however, Judge Merchan conducted the trial without any bias for or against either side.

Elizabeth Warren Rips Education Secretary's Mind-Numbing Video For 'Teacher Appreciation Week'

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Education Secretary Linda McMahon for paying tribute to educators during "Teacher Appreciation Week," noting the hypocrisy of McMahon's actions as she honors teachers on one hand and works to dismantle the Department of Education on the other.

In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order empowering McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities.”

Town Hall Crowd Erupts In Jeering Chants After GOP Rep. Has Older Woman Dragged Out

New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler has angered his own constituents after he had a woman dragged out of his town hall for pressing him on his loyalty to President Donald Trump.

Emily Feiner, whose Bluesky profile describes her as a Jewish retired social worker and mother of two, later shared that she "was certainly no threat" and that she "asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed."
