A political cartoon published August 3, 2026, draws direct parallels between a wildfire and Donald Trump by listing identical negative attributes for both. The comparison highlights traits such as being unpredictable, aggressive, vicious, mindless, indiscriminating, destructive, out of control, toxic, reeking, orange and hard to extinguish. The final entry on the Trump side changes to hard to put out of office. The piece advances the argument that Trump exhibits the same uncontrollable and damaging qualities as a wildfire, making his continued political presence a persistent hazard.

A cartoon depicts seven distinct lines of people at US immigration checkpoints, each labeled by skin color from white through off-white, black, dark brown, light brown, tan colored and others.

Taylor Jones draws a sharp contrast in this cartoon, with a pope-like figure in white robes and glasses, hands clasped, delivering the Sermon on the Mount line from Matthew 5:9 about blessed peacemakers being children of God. Beside him stands a blonde-haired man in a suit, halo above, mouth open in response, twisting John 3:16 to claim the Strait of Hormuz as a divine gift, or soon to be, labeled Don 3:16. The piece nods to Catholic Church teachings against a backdrop of Persian Gulf tensions, war in Iran, and oil exports disruptions. It's a dry poke at how leaders bend scripture for geopolitical gains, like controlling the Strait of Hormuz to spike crude prices. Vatican serenity meets brash claims, all in watercolor style on purple background.
