The cartoon is set on a sandy beach where a Native American village with a tipi is situated near pine trees. Two Native Americans stand on the shore looking out towards a sailing ship with two pilgrims on board approaching the shore. One of the Native Americans is speaking, saying, "THOSE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THINK THEY CAN JUST MARCH IN HERE!!!"

The cartoon depicts Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the left, looking weary and thoughtful. On the right, three men in suits are having a conversation. The first says "ZELENSKYY WAS A COMEDIAN BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED. THEN HE BECAME A HERO! EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ACT LIKE A HERO, THEN BECOME A CLOWN AFTER YOU GET INTO OFFICE!" The second man, wearing a bow tie, looks skeptical. The third man, with his arms crossed, adds, "AND HE CALLS HIMSELF A POLITICIAN!"
