This cartoon is set at Mar-A-Lago where a sign out front advertises a Great Gatsby Party. A massive blue wave is on the left side of the image about to crash into the main building at Mar-A-Lago. A voice comes from a Donald Trump-like silhouette in the window which says, “Stop worrying! It’s not like I’m on the ballot!”
