Dave Whamond's cartoon titled 'The Man who would be king' captures a caricatured Donald Trump donned in regal themes, complete with crown and red robe, wielding a scepter. A subservient, bald figure with pointy ears bows and praises the 'Great Halloween Costume, Boss!' while Trump retorts 'What Halloween Costume?' The image tags highlight themes of No Kings, Trump wants kinglike powers, and concerns over constitution and democracy. It satirizes ideas of president transitioning government into a monarchy, with elements of shutdown, taking control, and totalitarian state. The humor lies in Trump playing dress up yet denying it's a costume, symbolizing real aspirations for kinglike authority.

Adam Zyglis draws Trump as a massive figure in military uniform topped with a crown, sporting a 'Presidential Medal of Do What I Want' and an absurdly long red tie, looming over a tiny lawyer in a supreme court courtroom. The judge, labeled 'Supreme Court,' holds a gavel while the lawyer pleads, 'Your Dishonor, my client is clearly at war with democracy, so he can invoke the War Powers Act for everything.' This pokes at Trump's potential use of war powers, alien enemies act, MAGA rhetoric, king-like authority, SCOTUS decisions, deportations, and presidential overreach in a direct, exaggerated style that highlights the absurdity.
