Steve Sack's 2019 cartoon portrays Trump as Tariffzilla, a Godzilla-inspired beast with the president's distinctive hair, unleashing destructive fire. Below, a chain of small white elephants, symbols of the Republican party, ascend a ladder to splash water from buckets onto the monster's foot, suggesting futile efforts against overwhelming tariff policies. The title 'Tariffzilla King of the Monsters' ties into trade war themes with Mexico over immigration and migrants. This sharp satire captures the chaos of Trump's tariff threats, blending monster movie tropes with political commentary on border issues. The image underscores how such policies loom large, dwarfing party attempts to mitigate damage.

Published January 25 2006, the image shows a US flag raised on a pole driven into a steep slope composed entirely of human skulls. The formation stretches across the lower portion of the frame, evoking the southern border. The work responds to ongoing migrant deaths during attempts to cross from Mexico into the United States amid heightened enforcement and physical barriers.
