A man sits at desk with a laptop computer, trying to learn to speak French. His young son watches. A voice from the laptop says, "Good afternoon: Bonne apres-midi." The man struggles to repeat it and says "Bun... uh bun, ap, ap" and then curses loudly. The boy says, "Dad, instead of trying to learn a new language, why don't you try to unlearn your old language?"

This cartoon takes place in hell. There are flames everywhere and the devil is here, holding a pitchfork. He has horns and wears a cape. He looks angry and cusses when he reads the edited welcome sign. A "Trump" sticker has been placed on the sign that reads "The Devil's Playground."

Two middle-aged men are lifting weights and chatting. The man on the lifts two hand weights above his head and says, "The US is planning on building a new type of battleship they're calling 'Trump Class.' The man on the right sits on a weight bench and does a curl as he responds, "Two words you don't often hear one after the other."
