Trump fiddles, as relations with Canada burn
TRUMP FIDDLES, AS RELATIONS WITH CANADA BURN by Graeme MacKay, politicalcartoons.com
The cartoon shows Donald Trump dressed as a Roman emperor seated on a throne amid rubble labeled with collapsed policy areas including healthcare, immigration, judicial norms, international alliances and environmental protection. A burning basket represents damaged relations with Canada. Trump holds a lyre and a book of vanity projects while declaring himself the greatest builder. The image draws on the Nero fiddling while Rome burns motif to comment on perceived institutional damage during the Trump administration as of the September 2026 publication date.

The artist signature appears in the upper left.
