#2 According to definitions: "Parody--an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. Satire--the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues."

The Time mag is neither paradoxical or satirical. It is basically a "Hit" on Trump.

#4 The idea is not all that creative, those domes are really the main recognizable architectural feature of Russia to most people. Might have been better to have had Trump as an engineer installing Putin onto Mt Rushmore or something like that.

#6 rj, you'd think something so simple; they call themselves creative like I call myself a golfer.

Than again, after three Manhattans everything that afternoon would seem funny and clever.
