The cartoon shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un perched on a large missile labeled 2020 and waving a flag. Donald Trump clings to the side of the rocket with a startled expression as additional missiles fly nearby. The image responds to North Korea's missile tests around the start of 2020. It uses the visual of a surprise New Year launch to comment on ongoing tensions between the United States and North Korea. The depiction highlights the sudden nature of the tests during a period of diplomatic efforts.
