Barry Blitt’s “Out Cold”

For the cover of the June 15, 2026, issue, the artist Barry Blitt turned his attention to Donald Trump’s latest spectacle. To mark his eightieth birthday—and the nation’s two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary—the President is staging a U.F.C. fight on the White House lawn. “There’s been plenty of astonishment regarding the clash being held there,” Blitt said. “But, at such a contentious time as this, maybe it makes sense—in a distasteful, repellent, disgraceful, atrocious way.”
