The March 2019 cartoon by Adam Zyglis for The Buffalo News presents two scenes of President Donald Trump. In the left panel he tightly embraces a large American flag. In the right panel he appears to restrain a journalist whose hat labeled 1st Amendment flies off and whose press pass is visible. The work responds to ongoing disputes between the White House and news organizations over access and criticism at that time.

The cartoon shows President Donald Trump at a podium beside an American flag declaring his absolute belief in freedom from the press. An aide corrects the phrasing to freedom of the press. Trump responds by firing the aide. The image responds to the November 2018 revocation of CNN reporter Jim Acosta's White House press pass following a contentious exchange at a press conference. The visual highlights the administration's tensions with the media and questions over First Amendment protections during that period.
