Donald Trump appears in the lower left asking about a Nobel Prize. Signs indicate a nuke-free Korea with an arrow pointing along a winding path through mountains. Lightning flashes above the route. The scene aligns with talks in April 2018 between the United States and North Korea on ending nuclear weapons programs.
The Jan. 8, 2018 cartoon by Pat Bagley shows President Donald Trump waving an envelope labeled TRUMP LIES while balanced on a massive, mucus-covered troll. The image responds to Trump's announcement of fake news awards targeting critical coverage. The troll clutches a pink structure and drips green slime across the frame. A banner at the bottom quotes Trump welcoming awards to expose the disgusting fake news media. The drawing appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune amid ongoing clashes between the White House and major news outlets over Russia coverage and press credibility.
