Marian Kamensky nails the absurdity with a Trump caricature striding across the Hormuz waves like some divine emperor, complete with a lamppost halo and a sword in hand. He's dangling a crown of thorns to a bearded prophet type popping up from the depths, all set against a starry night with mountains and a crescent moon. Tags like Iran, Hormuz, Trump, MAGA Terror, Oil War, Fascism scream the point without words. It's classic cartoon exaggeration, poking at ego-driven foreign policy blunders. The red cape flutters, the water splashes—pure visual punch. No subtlety here, just sharp commentary on power plays in troubled waters.
A political cartoon dated October 23, 2025, shows a fired government worker pushing a stroller past a construction fence where a wrecking ball demolishes part of the White House grounds. A large billboard advertises an upcoming gilded ballroom estimated at $300 million. The worker's child asks if the family can afford bread while the mother replies that officials will let them eat cake instead.
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.
