Political cartoons for February 25 | The Week

Two aliens speak to a farmer on Earth, their spaceship in the background with stairs leading down. One alien says, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you have any leaders who aren&rsquo;t linked to Epstein?&rdquo;

Donald Trump is outside in a blizzard, reading the State of the Union and buried up to his neck in snow that is labeled &ldquo;POLLS&rdquo;. The wind howls and blows his hair. He says, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re the hottest country in the world!&rdquo;

A man in a suit is in a chair being interrogated by a female and male police officer. A light shines on the man in the suit and the woman police officer holds a photo. The man in the suit says, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t really know Epstein that well&hellip;We ran into each other in underwear once or twice.&rdquo;

This is a two-panel cartoon titled &ldquo;N.C. Hog Industries.&rdquo; The left side shows pigs in North Carolina. The right side shows a giant, pig-shaped machine called &ldquo;AI DATA CENTERS&rdquo; that is drawing massive power from the grid.

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;The Party of Law and Order&rdquo; and is set outside the Supreme Court building. Donald Trump looks angry and holds a can of spray paint. Trump&rsquo;s used the paint to deface the columns on the building, where he&rsquo;s written &ldquo;Unpatriotic, Fools! Lapdogs, Disloyal, Disgrace, Embarrassing, (expletive).&rdquo;

A woman and a man are scanning their groceries at a self-checkout counter. The woman, who pushes a cart, says &ldquo;Now that tariffs are gone, prices should come down, right?&rdquo; The man answers, &ldquo;You know, that&rsquo;s exactly what you said about cashiers.&rdquo;

A group of people are outside on a Washington DC sidewalk looking at a statue. The statue is of a man in a suit, looking satisfied and the words on the base are, &ldquo;Dedicated to America&rsquo;s Wealthy Pedophiles&rdquo; One of the people looking at the statue says, &ldquo;Go get some rope!&rdquo;

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;Gods and Mortals&rdquo;. The top part of the image shows men sitting on a cloud labeled &ldquo;CEO PAY.&rdquo; They are dressed like Roman emperors, sipping wine and holding grapes. The one with the grapes looks down at a group of angry people, who are being rained on. The CEO says, &ldquo;You know, a more positive attitude would make you happier workers!&rdquo;

A woman and man are in a city office, looking out at the sun setting over tall buildings. The man holds a martini glass and says, &ldquo;I enjoy the simple pleasures. The setting sun, a glass of wine, and the Dow hitting an all-time high.&rdquo;

A truck labeled &ldquo;USA&rdquo; has crashed below a sign that reads &ldquo;State of the Union&rdquo; and has arrows pointing to the left and the right. The truck has missed both exits and crashed in the middle of the crossroads. A voice from inside the truck says, &ldquo;Nailed it!&rdquo;
