The cartoon highlights perceived shortcomings in aid delivery to Florida and North Carolina.

A new political cartoon depicts Donald Trump with a hurricane-like swirl of 'FEMA LIES' above his eyes. The image responds to recent false claims about federal hurricane response. Trump has promoted conspiracy theories about relief money being diverted. These statements came amid recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The cartoon uses the Category 5 metaphor to highlight the scale of the disinformation. Critics argue the claims undermine public trust in emergency agencies. The publication date places this in the context of the 2024 election cycle.
