Donald Trump rides a rollercoaster named “Market Manipulation”. It’s filled with stereotypical rich guys with mustaches and MAGA top-hats. Trump yells “Sell!” as the coaster heads downhill and Uncle Sam is nearby and nervously hands the latest peace plan to an Iranian in religious dress.

This cartoon is titled “Sometime in the Future.” The landscape is barren and there is a city in the background underneath a transparent bubble. A group of tourists is in a flying machine looking at a crumbling statue with the words “Trump” at the base. The tour guide flying the craft says, “If it weren’t for the recently deciphered ‘Epstein Codex’ no one would know who this loser was.”
