In the first panel Hegseth pledges to awaken the warrior ethos at the Department of Defense. The middle panel shows him calling to unleash lethal power while an aide reports no resources remain. The final panel depicts a toddler Trump at the Department of Offense with Hegseth as a frantic aide amid papers about testosterone screening and purges. The work comments on the Trump administration's approach to military leadership and policy priorities as of September 2026.
President Trump escalates tariffs on trading partners including Canada in mid-2026. The move targets imports amid ongoing disputes over trade balances and supply chains.
