Shattered windows with yellow stars and flames from the weapon illustrate the assault. The image responds to Trump's repeated public criticisms of major news outlets during his presidency.

A six-panel comic by Sean Delonas published August 3 2018 presents five familiar false statements before showing CNN anchor Jim Acosta declaring Trump collusion. The sequence places the network report in the same category as a student claiming a dog ate homework and a man promising to call. Delonas drew the final panel with Acosta on air under the CNN logo. The cartoon appeared during ongoing coverage of the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference. It uses the structure of common lies to comment on the persistence of the collusion story in media at that time.
