Belly Flop: Donald Trump Signs the New Yorker

Donald J. Trump entered the Presidential race in July and the event was commemorated on the cover of the New Yorker with "Belly Flop" by Barry Blitt. The "pool" of candidates includes Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Chris Christie, The magazine cover makes it clear that Mr. Trump's candidacy is expected to be disruptive, but no one at the time would have predicted the degree to which this candidate would come to dominate the polls—and the headlines. A copy of the issue was signed by the Donald at a campaign event last week in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The candidate apparently was not deterred by his unflattering depiction. The collectible issue is available right now on eBay.
