This cartoon is drawn by Clay Jones in his wildly comic style. It depicts Donald Trump watching a television screen where a gunman in a MAGA hat fires an automatic rifle at a burning church while he says “Make Liberals Cry!” The right side of the screen shows a masked man with “Antifa” written on his shirt and a donkey. Trump says, “This patriotic 2A-loving vet was only defending himself after radical left lunatics threw a burning Mormon church at him.”

This cartoon is titled “Special Delivery.” It takes place outside the U.S. Capitol building and shows two dump trucks labeled “Blame Republicans” and “Blame Democrats” each dumping out foam fingers to point at each other. There is a sign on the steps that reads, “Government Shut Down.”
