In this xray cartoon, a doctor points out intestine blockages shaped like the Hormuz strait, advising Trump on more fiber to ease inflammation.
DOCTOR DIAGNOSES TRUMP HORMUZ BLOCKAGE by Monte Wolverton, politicalcartoons.com
Monte Wolverton\'s cartoon depicts a doctor holding up an xray that reveals an intestine shaped like the Strait of Hormuz, complete with stars indicating blockages and inflammation. Trump peers over the top, his distinctive hair visible, as the doctor diagnoses intermittent blockages, polyps, and suggests consuming more fiber while cutting back on fast food. Tags like Iran War and blockade tie into the visual pun, turning a geopolitical chokepoint into a medical ailment. The piece uses dry humor to highlight discomfort in a straightforward way, with the xray\'s pinkish intestine contrasting against the black background. Artistic elements include the doctor\'s pointing finger and Trump\'s curious pose, emphasizing the satire without overcomplicating the scene.
