Artists are already working with the NEW YORK TIMES front page as a backdrop for new political art.
And with good reason—we *can't* become immune to outrage over the ways in which this president's perfidy, venality and malfeasance *directly* led to these 100,000 COVID-19 deaths.

SOURCE/ This is a superimposition of a past cartoon by @deAdder on top of the NEW YORK TIMES front page—so it's a #metamodern piece of mash-up art. The first person I saw post the mash-up was @JustVent6. I don't know if that account is responsible for the mash-up or someone else.
FULL VERSION/ Folks appear to be very interested in this #metamodern mash-up image—so I've attached the *full version* of the JPEG, below. See the tweet attached to this tweet (just above, entitled "SOURCE") for sourcing info for this image. Upshot: it's @deAdder plus @JustVent6.
What Trump and his fans misunderstand—because they experience reality on a different continuum—is that voters and media would allow basically any POTUS of either party to quip once or twice about a third (or more) term. Trump gets heat because THIS continuum thinks he's unstable.
1/ Trump is "trolling" media only in the sense that if—say—Charles Manson had threatened to start a cult while in prison, media and onlookers would've taken it seriously because... he's Charles Manson. So Manson threatening to start a cult wouldn't be "trolling," but *plausible*.
2/ Because Trump and his fans occupy (I mean this ontologically) a different continuum than everyone else—with a different past, present, and future; with different core facts/understandings—they THINK this is "trolling" when it's actually a failed bid to speak "across" continua.
