This is a six-panel political cartoon with a man and woman looking at their phones. The man says, "Oh No!" and forwards something from social media in the first panel. The woman responds, "It's fake." “Wow!" the woman, still looking at her own device, repeats, "Fake." The man exclaims, "Holy #$@%!!" while spilling his coffee in shock. The woman says, "Wholly fake." The man yells, "Unbelievable! Incredible!" The woman responds with a deadpan, "Literally." Both characters put their phones down and look at each other in silence. In the final panel, the people have left and the phones lie on the table. The man’s phone screams "Liar!" while the woman’s retorts, "I know you are but what am I??"

This cartoon is a combination of an illustration and a real photo. The real photo is the famous one of Donald Trump with his fist raised and surrounded by Secret Service agents after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. There is a flag in the background and Trump has two lines of blood on his face. The speech bubble next to Trump reads, “I think Ilhan Omar is a fraud…She probably had herself sprayed.”
