Peter Kuper nails the absurdity of Trump White House cabinet positions in this sharp cartoon. Five stylized figures march through stages: incoming in red, striding confidently; acting with a pointing gesture; distrusted standing still; humiliated bent over in shame; outgoing fleeing with a kick.

Tags like cabinet turnover, political satire, administration instability, Trump firings, White House staff cycle, and executive distrust highlight the revolving door of appointments. It's a dry commentary on the chaos, where loyalty meets betrayal in quick succession. The simplicity amplifies the bite, making it perfect for syndication.
