DONALD TRUMP’S WAR ON WASHINGTON
The March 20 issue, with its cover story on the President by Massimo Calabresi, marked the third time Trump’s image has been on the cover this year–a fact that led Julie Bellanca of Boulder, Colo., to say it’s time to find creative ways to convey the problems of the presidency beyond “images of the man himself.” Meanwhile, Bo Lange of Escanaba, Mich., argued that while the picture was “cute” it “doesn’t cut” because “Trump constructs, not destructs.” But Tim Ackert of Orlando disagreed, describing the image–a portrayal of Trump that reminded him of a “petulant teenager”–as a “picture of a thousand words” and thanking journalists for “keeping the issues on the table in front of us.”
NEXT GENERATION LEADERS
Though Kaisa Pyoraniemi of Turku, Finland, appreciated the “optimistic” March 13 profile of “thoughtful and intelligent” Daily Show host Trevor Noah, Noah’s comment that the “older generation has a ‘me, me, me’ attitude when it comes to issues like the environment” offended some readers. Among them: 88-year-old self-described “rabid environmentalist” Penny Bailey of Freeport, Ill. Marita Carlson of Merced, Calif., pointed out that the “environmental movement as we know it today did not begin with Mr. Noah’s generation.” Indeed, as Judith Buczek, 73, of Camano Island, Wash., who became a wildlife-rehabilitation volunteer after retiring from medicine, noted, “old does not mean inactive, it does not mean ignorant, it does not mean indifferent.”
