It sure seems like the “New Yorker” is baiting Donald Trump with its new cover

Donald Trump has a history of going tit for tat with anyone who dares to present him in an unflattering light. It’s a trend that has proved profitable for some media organizations, which have benefited from increased readers and subscriptions following an attack from the president-elect. The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and now BuzzFeed are just a few that have enjoyed a Trump bump.

So we couldn’t help but wonder if the New Yorker is hoping for a little sales boost with its latest cover, which depicts a cartoonish Trump in a coin-operated kid’s car. Trump, of course, has a list of go-to insults at the ready for just such an occasion. Which one will he use? Feel free to take our poll.

Definitely feels like @NewYorker is baiting @realDonaldTrump into an angry tweet, in an effort to boost sales.
What will be his insult?
