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. Valtrex helped with the last one, but still..&rdquo;

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. The patient recalls the world of 1972: watching astronauts return from the moon, being stuck in an unwinnable war stalemate, and a president who "was a crook." When the patient asks if life has "skipped ahead to a whole new ballgame," the nurse simply tells them to "Go back to sleep."

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump as an angry Statue of Liberty. He clutches a book titled &quot;AMERIKA FIRST.&quot; His torch is held aloft, but the flame has been extinguished, leaving only a trail of dark smoke. He says, &quot;GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE...AND I'LL LOCK 'EM UP AND TAKE AWAY THEIR CHILDREN!&quot;

This political cartoon titled "Meanwhile, off the coast of California..." depicts a NASA space capsule descending safely toward the ocean under three striped parachutes.

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump and Pope Leo looking up at Jesus on the cross. Trump says, &ldquo;How does your doctor examine patients from up there?&rdquo;

Donald Trump is dressed like a holy man in robe and sash. He&rsquo;s with JD Vance, who is pictured as fat, small angel with wings pointing at Pope Leo.

This cartoon depicts a man in an American flag hat impaled by a giant tack. It&rsquo;s titled &ldquo;Tacks Day&rdquo;.

This single-panel political cartoon is titled &quot;OFF the CALIFORNIA COAST&rdquo;. It depicts two people sitting on a rocky shore under a night sky watching a bright object streak across the atmosphere. The woman asks, &quot;IS THAT the ARTEMIS II RE-ENTRY?&quot; to which the man replies, &quot;NO. THAT'S ERIC SWALWELL'S POLITICAL CAREER.&quot;

This political cartoon depicts Donald Trump dressed in religious robes with a glowing aura doing a miraculous "healing" on a patient. Trump says, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not only Jesus, I&rsquo;m also a doctor, and when it comes to health care&hellip;I have a concept of a plan!&rdquo;
