Donald Trump sits at a makeshift wooden and cardboard booth in this cartoon. The sign on top of the booth reads Open For Business and the bottom has a price list that includes pardons, foreign government favors, tariff breaks and five more lines with just “etc.” Three men are in line waiting to talk to Trump. Each holds a bag of money. The first man wears a suit, the second is dressed in business casual clothes and third is in Middle Eastern clothing. The man in the middle says to the Middle Eastern man, “What affordability crisis? He’s the most affordable president ever.”

This cartoon takes place outside a building where a sign on the wall reads “Saudi Consulate: Istanbul.” A bloody suitcase is on the ground next to the door to the consulate. A quote from Donald Trump is at the bottom of the image: “Things Happen — Donald J. Trump.”
