The June 2018 cartoon by Bruce Plante contrasts past U.S. diplomacy styles with President Trump's handling of North Korea summit preparations. The right panel depicts Trump attached to a yo-yo string held by a hand marked with a T, accompanied by the line that the summit is on-off-on. Earlier panels reference gunboat and ping pong diplomacy to frame the current uncertainty around the planned meeting with Kim Jong Un.

The cartoon depicts President Donald Trump planting his flag on a mountain summit labeled the North Korea Summit. He stands atop a rock marked failed diplomacy. Flags from the Trump Bush Clinton and Obama administrations fly behind him. The image appeared in the Columbus Dispatch on May 25 2018 as talks for the first Trump Kim meeting advanced.

President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appear in chef attire beside a large pot bearing an atom symbol and flames. They add bomb-shaped objects while a dove and rabbit sit inside the vessel. A smaller figure lies beneath Kim's feet. The scene coincides with preparations for their June 2018 summit focused on denuclearization.
