A group of Iranian men are watching Donald Trump on television. Trump is speaking next to a man with a cigar in his mouth who looks like a villain from Batman. Trump says, “And we’re now prepared to take more drastic action on the Strait of Hormuz.” One of the Iranians says, “Oh no! It’s Trump’s no-bid pool guy!”

This cartoon depicts a cover of The Art of War by Sun Tzu. A page is pulled out of it and that reads simply, “More testosterone.”
