Pat Bagley's political cartoon titled Trump Legacy presents a series of imagined monuments that highlight controversial aspects through labels like End-Your-Civilization Peace Prize on a medal showing a figure with Trump's hairstyle, the Liar-in-Chief Ballroom resembling a grand building with Trump flag, the Taco Triumphal Arch as a stone structure with winged T, and the Pussy-Grabber Library and Epstein Memorial Playland as a classical edifice with a statue. These elements, tagged with arch, MAGA, triumphal, ballroom, peace prize, library, Epstein, use dry humor to comment on themes of liar, Republicans, fascism without adding unseen context. The composition clusters these items in a sketch style, emphasizing bold text and simple lines for impact.

A group of past U.S. presidents appears in a 2025 cartoon by Ed Wexler, confronting Donald Trump about a proposed gold ballroom addition to the White House. The speech bubble from the group states their opposition to the ostentatious project. The image draws on themes of fiscal responsibility and poor optics for such a legacy undertaking. Trump is shown on the right, facing the cluster of figures. The date places this in the context of ongoing discussions about presidential projects and White House modifications.
