A Statue of Liberty figure holds a sign for E Macron France, and a box reads Carney The Great with a Canadian flag.

The backdrop emphasizes reciprocal tariffs, blending protest and boycott themes in a humorous critique of USMCA and global partnerships.

Steve Sack's 2019 cartoon captures Trump seated at a desk, an American flag nearby, staring at a emergency-style glass case marked 'IN CASE OF RECESSION.'

The image tags Trump, recession, blame, tariff, trade war, China, and economy, poking fun at blame-shifting tactics during economic uncertainty.
