This editorial cartoon depicts a smug-looking Donald Trump in the foreground.. Two other men in suits are in the background. Trump says, “Why is everyone still focused on Jeffrey Epstein? It’s a MINOR issue!” A man in the background face-palms and says, “Yes that’s the problem” and the other man says “Unfortunate choice of words.”

This cartoon is set in a field on a farm. There is a farmer here handing an empty basket to a man. The farmer says, “We can’t find farm workers, so everything is pick your own. I recommend the soy beans.”
