Dave Whamond's cartoon titled 'The Man who would be king' captures a caricatured Donald Trump donned in regal themes, complete with crown and red robe, wielding a scepter. A subservient, bald figure with pointy ears bows and praises the 'Great Halloween Costume, Boss!' while Trump retorts 'What Halloween Costume?'
