A political cartoon by Bob Englehart depicts a road sign for Springfield, Ohio, with its founding date of 1801 crossed out and replaced by text stating it was destroyed by Trump and Vance in 2024. The image shows a winding road leading toward a small city skyline under a blue sky with clouds and trees. The cartoon responds to statements by Donald Trump and JD Vance during the 2024 presidential campaign linking Haitian immigrants in Springfield to local problems including alleged pet consumption. The visual presents the town as harmed by the candidates' rhetoric rather than by migration itself.
