Political cartoons for December 2 | The Week

published 2 December 2025

A man and a woman sit on their couch, their mouths covered in chocolate. The man holds a calendar and says, &ldquo;We are all 24 advent chocolates in one day because of holiday stress!&rdquo; The woman points to a stack of more calendars and says, &ldquo;Relax, I have 23 more.&rdquo;

A caricature of Donald Trump is dressed as a genie, with flowing pants and his arms folded. Behind him are dozens of other caricatures, including Kristi Noem as Ice Barbie, a grumpy Clarence Thomas, Elon Musk, Karoline Leavitt, and RFK Jr. with a brain worm. The cartoon is titled &ldquo;Ali Maga and his 40 thieves.&rdquo;

A shark is underwater listening to a cell phone. There are fish and an octopus floating around it. The lower half of a dog is seen swimming. A voice on the phone says to the shark, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t need proof that he&rsquo;s a narcoterrorist, Jaws&hellip;Just obey my LEGAL orders and eat Pipit.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts an enormous bull named The Economy bucking a clown-like Donald Trump off its back. Trump says, "Prosecute the cow!&rdquo;

This cartoon shows a missile headed to hit a boat before it swerves away. The boat has a sign on top that reads, &ldquo;Yes, we&rsquo;re trafficking drugs, but we plan to buy a lot of Trump crypto with our money.&rdquo; A relaxed-looking man on the boat says, &ldquo;Genius&hellip;&rdquo;

An angry-looking and muscular Pete Hegseth pulls back his shirt to reveal a tattoo. It has a skull with a lightning bolt through it and reads, &ldquo;Kill &lsquo;em all. Let God Sort &lsquo;Em Out.&rdquo;

An oversized skull is on the left side of this cartoon. It&rsquo;s labeled &ldquo;Hundreds of thousands of deaths due to USAID cuts.&rdquo; A much smaller Donald Trump is at left next to an easel that reads, &ldquo;Trump Gilded Ballroom.&rdquo; Trump says, &ldquo;Large looks by far the best&hellip;&rdquo;

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;Big Beautiful Health Insurance Bills.&rdquo; A small Christmas tree stands outside the U.S. Capitol building. It looks somewhat like a rocket and is labeled &ldquo;Rising Monthly Premiums&rdquo; &ldquo;ACA&rdquo; and has a price tag hanging from it. An arrow atop the tree points straight up.

This image is drawn in stark black and white. A group of men and women in professional attire are bound by rope and blindfolded as they stand against the wall under the words &ldquo;Illegal Orders Video.&rdquo; Donald Trump holds an automatic rifle and says, &ldquo;One sec&hellip;I have to faithfully execute the laws&hellip;&rdquo; An easel next to Trump holds the U.S. Constitution with a target on it.

This cartoon depicts a tiny Mike Johnson in a Moses-like robe. He&rsquo;s holding a pair of stone tablets that look like the Ten Commandments but instead say &ldquo;covfefe&rdquo;. He&rsquo;s standing next to a female and male pair of legs. Johnson says, &ldquo;Welcome back from recess, fellow giants of Congress! Come and follow me! Hello?? I said&hellip;&rdquo;
