The aid says, ""SIR, YOUR APPROVAL RATINGS ARE THE LOWEST DATING BACK BEFORE EISENHOWER, SIR." The next panel is Trump shouting "INVESTIGATE THE FAKE POLLSTERS !!!"

This cartoon depicts two donkeys perched on a tree branch and looking at polling data that shows a downward trend. One donkey says, "FORGET OUR LOW APPROVAL RATINGS - FOCUS ON THEIR LOW APPROVAL RATINGS!" Below them, an elephant and Donald Trump are walk off a cliff past a sign that reads "THE SECOND 100 DAYS."

This political cartoon shows Donald Trump from the back, seated in a chair. He's watching a TV with a headline that reads, &quot;Poll: 50% of Americans disapprove of no due process.&quot; Trump says, &quot;Deport them.&quot;

This political cartoon shows an orange-faced Donald Trump looking exasperated standing next to a scared-looking aid. Trump is next to a chart which shows a series of wildly ascending and descending lines. He points to a line that is trending up. The aid says, "Yes, sir. But those are egg prices, sir."

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump riding a a gold escalator labeled &quot;POLLS&quot; that is moving downwards, indicated by a large red arrow. Trump says, &quot;AND WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS?&quot; A small speech bubble from the bottom of the escalator replies, &quot;WE'RE DOWN HERE!&quot;
