It's not the first time Donald Trump has influenced their cover, not by a long shot.
The current article bears the headline:
"When a President Can't Be Taken at His Word".It was written by TIME's managing editor Nancy Gibbs. It discusses Trump, and asks if the current President of the United States is trustworthy. The article examines his statements during his election campaign in which 70% of his statements reviewed by PoltiFact were proven to be false.
Trump's words, now that he is president, carry significantly more weight than they did as a candidate. TIME therefore felt it was appropriate to mimic their first ever cover without a image.
Gibbs writes:
"As citizens, it is vital that we be able to believe our President; it is also vital that we know what he believes, and why. This President has made both a severe challenge."
