This political cartoon is a satire of the birthday card Donald Trump drew for Jeffrey Epstein. It is drawn like an advertisement and depicts the midsection of a woman in bra and panties with Donald Trump’s signature across her panties. The words on the ad are “New* Donald J. Trump Signature Bikini Bottoms. Teen & Toddler sizes available! Grab ‘em for a new low $99. *Definitely not inspired by the Jeffrey Epstein card — er, hoax! Made in China.”
