The cartoon shows Donald Trump beside a document under an arch labeled Arc de Iran's Triomphe. Statues bear death to America inscriptions while a winged figure sits atop the structure. A speech bubble notes the peace deal required this concession.
Marian Kamensky\'s cartoon captures Trump with a halo, striding across the sea in robes and flip-flops toward signs pointing to Pakistan and USA, evoking peace talks amid Hormuz strife. The satire turns sharp as Trump, embodying fascism and MAGA terror, plunges into the waves, desperately swimming while his flip-flop floats away and the signpost topples. This two-panel setup underscores the hubris of political figures tackling international relations, blending humor with critique of overreaching ambitions in U.S.-Pakistan dynamics. The artwork\'s clean lines and exaggerated expressions amplify the dry wit, making it a pointed commentary on failed diplomacy and self-proclaimed savior complexes in global politics.
This political cartoon splits into two scenes: top shows astronauts in orange suits, one with NASA patch and another with Canadian flag, waving and exclaiming 'IT'S A PARADE! HOW MARVELLOUS!' as they march from a crashed, smoking NASA capsule in water on a sandy surface. Below, a group carries a regal throne with a crowned figure wearing a T medal, surrounded by confetti and banners reading 'MASSIVE' and 'VICTORY'. In the background, smoke rises from a fractured globe labeled 'Iran' and 'Iraq'. The artwork, signed by MacKay for The Hamilton Spectator, uses humor to juxtapose apparent failure with proclaimed triumph, featuring waving figures and stern expressions in a sandy landscape.

Harley Schwadron's cartoon captures Trump in a suit, arm raised, pointing to a stocks chart showing a sharp decline, with the label 'STOCKS' and a downward line. An older woman points a stick at him, perhaps in a briefing room with a Capitol building visible through the window. The caption reads, 'My TARIFFS WILL MOVE THE WORLD IN A NEW DIRECTION!!' Tags like Trump, tariffs, stocks, stock dive, president, money, wealth, crash underscore the satire on trade policies tanking markets. The small cabinet and scattered dots on the floor add to the simple, indoor setting.
The cartoon depicts tariffs as a defeated wrestler on the mat while inflation soars above in a wrestling ring. A figure resembling President Trump lies nearby after the bout. The scene responds to 2025 tariff policies and their economic fallout. Tariffs were imposed on imports earlier in the year. Rising prices followed those measures. The visual shows the policy outcome through the wrestling loss.
