This is not the first time the German publication has gone after Trump.
“Germany must stand up in opposition to the 45th president of the United States and his government,” Der Spiegel's executive editor, Klaus Brinkbäumer, wrote in an editorial last month.
“That’s difficult enough already for two reasons: Because it is from the Americans that we obtained our liberal democracy in the first place; and because it is unclear how the brute and choleric man on the other side will react to diplomatic pressure,” he added.
The magazine advocated a joint political opposition to Trump's policies, saying the president could not be trusted.
“It is literally painful to write this sentence, but the president of the United States is a pathological liar,” Brinkbäumer wrote.
In reaction to the White House executive order temporarily banning refugees and immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, Der Spiegel also depicted a drawing of Trump beheading the Statue of Liberty.
