Abstract
During the first year of his presidency, as well as for most of the 2016 electoral campaign, Donald Trump has been the subject of multiple cover stories in renowned magazines such as Rolling Stone, Time, The Economist, Der Stern and many others. Over this time, it can be argued that Trump has suffered an iconization process, by which he has become more than a political figure, and instead is now represented as an icon, a logotype, to represent certain political attitudes. This paper examines Trump’s first year in the cover images of popular magazines, to examine his representation as more than a president, but as an icon, something without recent precedents in the United States history.
