October 12 editorial cartoons

Sunday's political cartoons include the MAGA Matrix, bear and bull markets, and ICE at a job fair.

This Donald Trump cartoon is titled “The Magtrix.” It depicts Trump in a chair like the character Morpheus from The Matrix film. He holds a red pill in one hand and a blue pill in other. He says, “Take the red pill and live in blissful ignorance. Take the blue pill and I cut all of your federal funding.”

This cartoon is set at a job fair. An interested man looks at the ICE desk at which sit two women. There is a sign that reads “Beardos welcome” and words on the desk that say, “Pack Heat! Spread Terror” Posters on the wall behind the desk depict different scenes of violence and read “Assault women!!” “Hide behind masks!!” “Trash Stuff!!” “Out-earn teachers!” One of the women at the desk says to the other, “We need a new poster: Help Gin Up Another Civil War…”
