For anyone who has ever wondered whether Donald Trump would personally sign a copy of The New Yorker of August 28, 2017, the issue featuring David Plunkert's "Blowhard" cover, the answer is yes. The cover was published after a horrific episode of white nationalist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, when the president infamously commented at a press conference that "you also had people that were very fine people on both sides." The illustration depicts Trump sitting aft in a sailboat. He is blasting air in order to inflate a white sail with eye holes that visually transform it into a Klansman's hood. The American Society of Magazine Editors named Plunkert's New Yorker cover, his first, their Cover of the Year.
The autographed cover, with Trump's zigzag of a signature and retaining the subscription mailing label, even, was sold on eBay late last year. There probably aren't too many of these out there.
