He left no room for doubt. The sweeping victory of Donald Trump defied “hand-to-hand” predictions and confirmed the biggest fears of a second term of divisive speech and dangers hovering over the USA (and beyond).
The winner, Donald Trump, is on the covers of magazines and on the front pages of newspapers around the world.
The Media takes a position and chooses a “camp”. They are divided into those who welcome his victory with open arms and those who in a particularly sharp way comment on the coming troubles.
There is also a third minority portion that chooses neutrality.

A shadow over the US for the New Yorker
“Back with a vengeance” is cartoonist Barry Blyth’s headline for the New Yorker cover. “On Wednesday morning, November 6, Donald Trump was elected, for the second time, President of the United States,” reports the magazine.
“For the cover of the November 18, 2024 issue, Barry Blyth drew the terrifying figure of Trump – a reminder that a second term, while sure to include more moves than his well-known far-right playbook, will also undoubtedly usher in a new era of unprecedented extremism and heightened uncertainty in America” writes the magazine sounding the alarm for the future of the USA.

With a red Republican tie around his neck, the Statue of Liberty “ends his life,” after the American people decided to shoot him in the foot.
Without comments, without words, without reports, the French magazine describes in depth the new reality for the USA.
A dark and uncertain period according to the Atlantic
The great illustrator, Mike McQuaid, visually dresses up David Frum’s excellent analysis for the Atlantic.
“Donald Trump won and will be president for the second time. Now we must learn to live in an America where an overwhelming number of our fellow citizens have elected a president who holds the most fundamental values and traditions of our democracy, our Constitution, and even our military in contempt. (…)
There were many chapters in history where America got it wrong for years or decades. Perhaps we are living in such a time now. Or maybe the truth is that democracy is always something subjective, always open to interpretation.
If so, then we too must—as people in other failed democracies have learned to do—find new ways to defend faltering institutions and threatened ideas,” Fram writes.
For his part, McQuaid posts his sketch with the following words: “I was hoping that the time would not come for this work of mine to be published.”
“What did they do again?” asks the Mirror

A rhetorical question accompanies, perhaps the most characteristic photo of Donald Trump from his victory speech, on the front page of the British Mirror.
“What did they do again?” with a clear reference to the choice of American voters who ensured Trump a comfortable victory and a second term in the White House.
The title in question comes as a sequel to the cover that the paper ran with in 2016 when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. Then the Statue of Liberty was desperately holding its head in its hands under the title: “What did they do?”.
“Uncertainty and fear as the world reels from the shock US election result,” adds the Mirror commenting on Trump’s return to power.

The Spectator magazine is out with the title ‘American titan: Donald Trump’s remarkable political comeback’, with an op-ed by Freddy Gray
“Donald was always only down, not out. ‘Trump fatigue’ turned out to be an illusion,” he says. He continues: “But 2024 is not 2016, and Trump can no longer be dismissed as a freakish departure from policy as usual. It’s the new normal.”
The reporter stands in the role of Vice President Vance. “Trump 2.0 will be 78 years old when he is inaugurated – 159 days older than Biden was when he became president in 2021.
On the one hand, this could mean that Vance, as vice president, will take on much of the executive work, and on the other, it means that Trump does not need to govern in order to be reelected.
That means he can focus on things that matter in the long term, like debt, says one adviser. This could be Trump’s biggest challenge.”
The return of a winner to Newseek
Newsweek has 78-year-old Donald Trump on its cover with the caption “The Return.”
“After a truly incredible contest America has elected Donald Trump as President of the United States, making history as the first former president to return to power in our time. For this unprecedented moment, here is our cover.”
TIME magazine and the president-elect
The TIME magazine headline reads: “President-elect Donald Trump,” with a photo of him from his election night watch party in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“For his loyal following, his return to the White House is an exciting vision coming to the fore. To the followers who helped him rise to the top, his rhetoric is largely grave-digging in the service of reforming a government out of touch with America’s economic and social needs.
For the rest of the country and much of the world, a second Trump term looks like a blow to democracy in the US and beyond.
The nation is more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. But on January 20, everyone in the United States will be living in Trump’s America.
TIME’s account of how Trump did it, based on more than 20 interviews with people in his orbit over the past eight months, offers a glimpse of what that might look like,” the issue’s description reads.
