Trump Questions Al Qaeda Knowledge in Cartoon Confrontation
Ingrid Rice, British Columbia, Canada
A political cartoon dated July 12, 2026, shows Donald Trump seated on a stool responding to a lecture about Al Qaeda and NATO's Article 5 invocation after 9/11. The standing figure, wearing a floral shirt, recounts the death of a Canadian child and 164 other Canadians in the fight. Trump replies by asking what an Al Qaeda is. The bottom caption reads when senility is the only explanation. The image highlights a direct confrontation over historical facts tied to the 9/11 attacks and alliance commitments.

The cartoon depicts a simplified map of the Middle East, including labels for Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Riyadh, and the Persian Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz is prominently marked, with a caricatured man in a suit and red tie wearing a dunce cap labeled \'DUNCE\' positioned over it. This setup uses the strait as a choke point for oil and energy, tying into themes of foreign policy, war, and ignorance. The image critiques handling of Middle East waterway issues, possibly linked to closure threats, tankers, and ceasefire efforts. Artist signature appears in the bottom right.

Trump Bible Grift cartoon shows desperate for cash fundraising off religion with evangelical base.
TRUMP BIBLE GRIFT by Dave Whamond, politicalcartoons.com
The cartoon captures Trump Bible Grift with a figure unable to name Bible verses yet selling a $60 Trump Bible, all sales final, then excusing himself to threaten a judge and family. Tags like desperate for cash, fundraising off religion, evangelical base, grifters gotta grift, Good Friday, Easter, holy week, God Bless the USA bible highlight the satire. The image stays direct, showing only the visible elements of a suited man with distinctive hair holding a blue book labeled Trump Bible. No deeper symbols appear; it\'s straightforward mockery of the sales pitch. Artist signature and site mark the bottom.
