"Barry Blitt portrays President Donald Trump in his latest guise, as a general heading to war in the Middle East. This all comes after years of promising his voters "America First!" and "no more Forever Wars." Blitt's cover image shows the President at his Florida golf resort standing in his martial golf cart alongside his caddy and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth."
