This cartoon depicts two hands writing lessons learned and Donald Trump’s hand with a sharpie. The two hands write “Violence must be eradicated from politics and gun violence must be urgently addressed.” Trump writes “GET ME MY BALLROOM!!” over the other lessons.

Donald Trump sits on an ornate chair while an elephant, dressed in a Prince Charming-style uniform labeled "CONGRESS," kneels to fit a glass slipper onto Trump's foot. The slipper came from a box labeled "$400 million White House Ballroom Legislation" fueled by "Taxpayer funds". The elephant says, "It's a perfect fit!"
