Political cartoons for April 16 | The Week

Donald Trump is depicted as the Jesus-like figure he posted of himself online. He stand near an American flag as fighter jets fly overhead and an angry-looking bald eagle glares at him. Trump says, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m the miracle man. I did the loaves and McFishes, turned water into Diet Coke and both caused and cured multiple cases of herpes.

This nine-panel comic is titled: "For d&eacute;j&agrave; vu lasting longer than usual, call Nurse Betty." A male patient wakes from a 54-year coma and asks a nurse how long he has been out.

When the patient asks if life has "skipped ahead to a whole new ballgame," the nurse simply tells them to "Go back to sleep."
