In this April 2025 cartoon, President Donald Trump is depicted at the wheel of a vehicle marked high tariffs, speeding toward a cliff edge labeled Depression of 1930s. Uncle Sam sits in the passenger seat, sweat visible, asking if the route leads to prosperity.

The visual argument highlights concerns over economic fallout from aggressive import and export duties.
