New Time Cover Shows The Utter Chaos That Donald Trump Left Behind For Joe Biden

Biden looks out of a trashed Oval Office's window in artist Tim O’Brien's latest front page illustration for the magazine.

The mess that President Joe Biden inherited from former President Donald Trump is depicted on the new cover of Time.

The front page of the magazine’s February 1 / February 8 double issue shows Biden pensively looking out of a trashed Oval Office’s window, which appears to be surrounded by flames.

Graffiti is scrawled on a curtain and the Resolute Desk, which is buried under documents and fast food cartons.

A telephone lies on the floor, near one of Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” caps and a bullhorn.

The illustration, created by artist Tim O’Brien, is titled “Day One.”
