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 magazines Feb. 1/8 double issue shows Biden pensively looking out of the trashed Oval Offices window, which appears to be surrounded by flames.
Graffiti is scrawled on a curtain and the Resolute Desk, itself covered in documents and fast food cartons.
A telephone lies listlessly on the floor, near one of Trumps signature red Make America Great Again caps and a bullhorn.
Tim OBriens illustration is titled, Day One.

For the past several days, after pondering where we are as a nation, what just happened in Washington, and what Joe Biden faces as he takes the office of President, I was working on a piece that is now on the cover of the new issue of Time Magazine, OBrien tweeted of the piece Thursday.
OBriens art graced the publications front page on multiple occasions throughout Trumps presidency, calling out the one-term presidents catastrophic handling of the coronavirus pandemic and other scandals:
