Timemagazine has set Twitter abuzz with its newest cover, featuring a mashup of the White House topped with the features of the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral which stands in Moscow's Red Square.
The accompanying story is a deep look at the way Russia has been exploiting and manipulating social media in the U.S. and is well worth the read.
But it's the cover everyone is coming back to, a wide-open shot at an embattled President Trump and the federal investigation into his campaign's possible ties to Russia. It was done by Brobel Design, who also did the memorable Trump Oval Office windstorm cover from earlier in 2017.

St Basil’s Cathedral isn’t really “red.”
St Basil’s isn’t “The Kremlin.”
