Political cartoons for March 12 | The Week

This is a four panel political cartoon depicting Donald Trump speaking to a man dressed like an Iranian Ayatollah. Trump says, &ldquo;I demand your unconditional surrender!&rdquo; The ayatollah says, &ldquo;Why? We&rsquo;re an authoritarian dictatorship that oppresses women, run by nuts &amp; rigid true believers, and we have a big secret police force.&rdquo; Trump thinks about that and says in the final panel, &ldquo;...Sounds great!&rdquo;

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;Going Up&hellip;&rdquo; It depicts the shadow of an evil, vampire-like creature with a gas pump as a hand. The staircase it climbs has spindles that spell out &ldquo;WAR.&rdquo;

This editorial cartoon is titled &ldquo;The Fifth Horseman.&rdquo; It depicts the four horsemen of the apocalypse. They are skeletons atop deathly-looking horses headed toward Armageddon. The skeletons carry scythes and are named &ldquo;War, Death, Pestilence, and Famine.&rdquo; The fifth horseman is a skeleton in a MAGA hat named &ldquo;Willful Ignorance&rdquo; and it says, &ldquo;Hey! This is NOT what I voted for!&rdquo;

This is a two-image cartoon. The image on the left is titled &ldquo;How Democrats Campaign&rdquo; and looks like the letter D inside a circle. The right side is titled &ldquo;How Democrats Govern&rdquo; and the D has been moved down the circle so it looks like a tongue sticking out.

Causing unfathomable suffering, heartbreak, shame and ruin!&rdquo; The woman leaves the booth and says, &ldquo;Never mind. It was just a little run-of-the-mill envy.&rdquo; The priest responds, &ldquo;Wait! It gets worse.&rdquo;

A group of three men in MAGA hats are at a gas station. They look up at the prices of gas, which are $3.47 for regular and $3.96 for premium.&rdquo; One of the men says, &ldquo;These gas prices have Trump derangement syndrome!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a group of men dressed in Iranian religious clothing. They are shaking hands with another man who is in a chair.
