Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un stand face to face in a heated exchange over the name of a proposed hotel in Pyongyang. Trump insists the property carry his name while Kim demands his own branding. The two leaders then turn their backs on each other. Text in the second panel states the outcome as no deal. The image reflects stalled diplomacy between the United States and North Korea in early 2019 after prior summits produced limited progress on denuclearization.

The cartoon by Adam Zyglis published March 1, 2019, shows President Donald Trump tumbling through the air above water with torn papers labeled N. Korea and Deal trailing behind him. An explosion labeled Vietnam sends smoke and debris skyward on the left. The caption reads Rocketman. The image responds to the collapse of the Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi, where no agreement on denuclearization was reached despite high expectations.
