As Snopes mentions, it’s perfectly normal for media to write stories about both outcomes of an uncertain event so they can hit the ground running with the story. So having a Clinton victory cover prepped is not evidence of a media conspiracy.
What IS evidence is the differences between the two photo spreads. I’ll just mention the two biggest contrasts, and you can look for other details, if you want:
1) Hillary is smiling, wide-eyed, and looking up; Trump is squinty-eyed & smirking.
2) Hillary gets a halo; Trump gets shiny highlights on his face like he’s a sweaty mess.
The shiny highlights on Trump are from the tears that those at Newsweek shed when having to publish the issue.
Two non-photographic differences:
1. They only designed the Trump version, but printed and shipped the Hillary version.
National Recall After Newsweek Misfires With Clinton Cover
New York Post | Nov. 9, 2016
A national recall went out Wednesday for the special “Madame President” issue of Newsweek that was prematurely shipped to stores and newsstands across the country.
At the same time, the publisher of the magazine will rush the “President Trump” version of the commemorative issue to press on Thursday — so it will get to stores next week.
“Like everybody else, we got it wrong,” said Tony Romando, CEO of Topix Media, the Newsweek partner which produces special issues under the popular brand.

2. The Hillary version continued the meme of Trump’s campaign as “dark,” continued to poke a thumb in the eye of Trump supporters as — quote — “deplorable,” and made wild unsubstantiated claims. This editorializing was not reciprocated in the Trump version, against Hillary.
Here’s Newsweek’s Hillary text [boldface mine]:
“The 2016 presidential election was unique in a number ways: it saw the first major-party female nominee for the highest office in the country; the improbable rise of the kind of demagogue previously unknown in American politics and enough infighting and mudslinging for 10 election cycles. But as the tone of the election grew darker, and more bizarre by the day, President-Elect Hillary Clinton “went high” when her opponent and his supporters went ever lower. No stranger to trudging through the mire of misogyny in her career as first lady, senator and secretary of state President-Elect Clinton continued to push for an issues-based campaign even as a handful of Trump’s most deplorable supporters, seeing the wide margin Clinton held among female voters, called to repeal the 19th amendment.
On election day, Americans across the country roundly rejected the kind of fear and hate-based conservatism peddled by Donald Trump and elected the first woman in U.S. history to the Presidency.
[Note: the word “presidency” is not capitalized in the Trump article, even when Newsweek refers to Obama’s “eight-year presidency.” –ed.]
The culminating election of a career in politics spanning three decades and arguably more experience than any other incoming president, 2016’s was not an easy race to watch, comment on or be a part of — but when the dust cleared it revealed a priceless moment in American history: The highest glass ceiling in the Western World had finally been shattered.”
I never saw much difference between the two in the first place.
All I knew was that a life-long liberal, big government, spend happy, New York values, elitist, establishment beholden 1%er who doesn’t give a damn about anyone but themselves and their own enrichment was going to take the White House.
And I was right.
You were, indeed right.
As a consolation, I offer this:
One made billions by selling real estate, a process full of laws, rules, regulations, and paperwork.
I have no idea what the other one was selling to make millions, but I do know the documentation for that got BleachBitted.
I have a very good idea of what Clinton was selling- her office. Selling influence to the wealthy has always been the Clinton’s main source of income.
….and arguably more experience than any other incoming president
George Bush was the governor of Texas…Hillary was “elected” to be a senator from NY, where she didn’t even live…because she was married to a rapist and did nothing while there.
“In her eight years in the Senate, just one of Hillary’s bills got enacted into law. This bill designated the U.S. courthouse at 40 Centre Street in New York City as the “Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse.”
George Bush had far more “experience” than she did, so did her scum bag husband, do did:
Reagan
Carter
FDR
Coolidge
Wilson
Teddy Roosevelt
McKinley
Cleveland
Hayes
Andrew Johnson (also a senator)
Polk
Tyler
Van Buren
Monroe (also a senator)
Jefferson
So, yeah, it’s very easily argued and laughed at.
That’s not a halo. Anyone old enough to remember The Invaders (“…A Quinn Martin Production…”) knows that’s what happens to the aliens when they croak. I bet she also had the dreaded mutated fourth finger. We don’t realize how lucky we are.
Speaking of Snopes, they go to great lengths in this article to make it seem like all the deaths of people near the Clintons were normal. http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp
