This Donald Trump cartoon depicts an angry-looking Trump with an elephant and a donkey. Trump says, “If they don't stop, we will punish them severely! They’ll find out what it’s called the Department of War!” The elephant says, “Well, it’s good he’s finally getting tough with Russia!” The donkey responds, “Uh, he’s talking about Chicago.”

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump at the desk in the Oval Office. He holds up a copy of the image of the naked woman he drew for Jeffrey Epstein. This image originally read “Believe Women” but someone, presumably Trump, has crossed out the “W” “O” and “N” so the image now reads, “Believe Me”.
