Magazine covers slam Trump's defence of white supremacists

The cover pages of The New Yorker and The Economist magazines have criticised US President Donald Trump's defence of white supremacists. "Trump is politically inept, morally barren and temperamentally unfit for office," The Economist said in an editorial. "President Trump's weak pushback to hate groups compelled me to take up my pen," The New Yorker's cover artist David Plunkert said.
