Osmani Simanca's 2018 cartoon depicts Donald Trump in a sequence of devolution: starting as a pudgy, naked humanoid with signature hair, holding a tiny club, then growing fur and a tail, eventually becoming a full monkey brandishing a large 'Monroe Doctrine' bat while advancing toward a sign labeled 'Latin America.' The imagery skewers the Trump administration's apparent revival of the Monroe Doctrine, tying into tags like Latin America, Donald Trump, Venezuela, Cuba, Secretary of State, and Rex Tillerson. This satirical take highlights concerns over interventionist policies, rendered in a simple, exaggerated style that amplifies the primal, regressive nature of such diplomacy.
