Donald Trump is on a television screen at a tavern. Trump says, “The oil tanker crews must show some guys…” A newspaper on the bar has a headline that reads, “Straight of Hormuz blocked by threats.” A man in the tavern turns to another man and says, “I guess the oil tanker crews came down with a nasty case of bone spurs.”

Donald Trump writes on a large poster with a dark-colored marker. The first five letters spell out “Plan AH” and then he finishes the sentence with “EAD” in small letters, so the sign reads “Plan Ahead” but he did not plan well enough to make all the letters the same size.

This cartoon depicts a group of normal-looking men and women speaking about taxes. From left to right, they say, “I got my refund over a week ago!” “I sent my tax forms in last week.” “I plan to do my taxes this week.” “I still have a week or two to get ‘em done, right?” The last person throws away a stack of papers named “Deadline” and says, “Meh..the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

This cartoon depicts Pete Hegseth as a little kid, sitting on an American flag cough and playing war like a video game and wearing a headset.

Kaboom!”
