Christopher Weyant's 2019 cartoon shows Trump swinging a tariffs-labeled club at a Mexico-themed piñata, while a beaten Uncle Sam lies on the ground, hat fallen, speaking about Mexico's endurance. The image captures trade tensions with China and Canada in mind, using the big stick metaphor for beating that backfires on the American consumer. Debris scatters around the striped figure, emphasizing self-inflicted taxes through tariffs. The wall isn't visible, but the satire points to broader policy fallout.
