Trump had made a number of attempts to make a name in the magazine world as far back as 1997 with titles like Trump Style and Trump World. The previous incarnation of Trump Magazine was shut down in 2009, reportedly because of a decrease in ad revenue during the recession
Twitter users took notice of the cover and quickly fired back with jokes and harsh criticism.

The cover of the latest issue of Trump magazine is the president’s DC hotel where diplomats stay to curry favor with the Trump regime. God bless America. https://t.co/0R1Z58KcXZ

Yet another failed Trump venture tries again. Sad.
โA new version of Trump Magazine was launched in November 2007; the publication ended in May 2009, due to poor advertising sales as a result of the Great Recession.โ

This isn’t an actual magazine, right? Like, it’s an annual ad for your family’s truly ridiculous towers and resorts, not a monthly magazine with any non-Trump content?
I am asking only because your family has already tried and failed at, what? Two Trump magazines? Three?

Looks like the building is giving everyone the finger. Who thought this design was a good idea?

Does the cover of each issue always feature a phallic symbol? Seems an appropriate analogy for the Trump name.
