This is a four-panel cartoon featuring Donald Trump. The first panel shows him missing a putt as he says &ldquo;Missed!&rdquo; The second panel shows him with a can of hair spray and he says &ldquo;Empty!!&rdquo; In the third panel he eats McDonalds and says &ldquo;Cold!!!&rdquo; In the final panel he&rsquo;s in the Oval Office and says, &ldquo;I have declared three national emergencies.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a tiny Donald Trump surrounded by giant women&rsquo;s feet, some in heels, some in athletic shoes. The women&rsquo;s feet are labeled &ldquo;Epstein Survivors&rdquo;. Trump points at the feet and says &ldquo;Hoax!&rdquo; while an arrow points at his burning pants next to the words &ldquo;Pants on Fire Survivor&rdquo;.

This is a four-panel cartoon that begins with an image of a brutalized and shirtless African slave in the top-left corner. The slave has welts on his back from being whipped by a slave master nearby who holds a whip. The image gradually changes in the next frame and the welts on the slave&rsquo;s back have become an American flag. The final frames show Donald Trump emerging with an American flag that he then uses to whip the slave.

This is a two panel cartoon set in a living room where a man and a woman speak as they lounge. The man says, &ldquo;Well, Labor Day is over.&rdquo; The woman replies, &ldquo;Yup.&rdquo; The next frame shows the man leaving. The woman says, &ldquo;Where are you going?&rdquo; The man responds, &ldquo;To get the Christmas decorations.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts an angry Donald Trump with an image of a sinister-looking Jeffrey Epstein on his hand. A woman brushes the image of Epstein on his hand and says, &ldquo;We tried concealer but I don&rsquo;t know if we&rsquo;ll ever be able to cover that up!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a well-dressed man and woman waiting at the host stand of a fancy restaurant named &ldquo;Chez MAGA&rdquo;. A man in a tuxedo offers them a menu as a national guardsman in camouflage waits to show them to their table with a view of Washington DC. The man in the tux says, &ldquo;Welcome back to Washington! Your national guardsman will seat you now.&rdquo;

This cartoon is set outside where two men are on deck drinking beer while one of them cooks on a grill. That man wears a red hat and says to the other man, &ldquo;Same here. I voted for fascism, stagflation, and the decimation of our nation&rsquo;s health, education, and global reputation. But I did it to protect my kids from pedophiles. Not to protect the pedophiles.&rdquo;

This political cartoon depicts Donald Trump at the gates of heaven where he is greeted by St. Peter. A recent quote from Trump is at the top right of the image, it reads, &ldquo;I want to try to get to heaven if possible. I hear I&rsquo;m not doing too well.&rdquo; There is a U.S. mailbox next to St. Peter who says to Trump, &ldquo;Actually, we voted against you&hellip;We use mail-in ballots.&rdquo;
