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.
Steve Sack's 2019 cartoon portrays Trump as Tariffzilla, a Godzilla-inspired beast with the president's distinctive hair, unleashing destructive fire. Below, a chain of small white elephants, symbols of the Republican party, ascend a ladder to splash water from buckets onto the monster's foot, suggesting futile efforts against overwhelming tariff policies. The title 'Tariffzilla King of the Monsters' ties into trade war themes with Mexico over immigration and migrants. This sharp satire captures the chaos of Trump's tariff threats, blending monster movie tropes with political commentary on border issues. The image underscores how such policies loom large, dwarfing party attempts to mitigate damage.
