This cartoon shows a book entitled "TRUMP: THE ART OF THE TARIFF DEAL." The book cover features a portrait of Donald Trump sitting with his arms crossed, looking somewhat contemplative or stern. Behind him is a blurred image of the White House and the Capitol Building. The book has a price tag of "$47.00" and is labeled "#1 NATIONAL EMERGENCY." Numerous brightly colored stickers are overlaid on the cover, advertising various discounts and offers, including "ADD 10%," "ADD 50% 50% MORE," "FINAL OFFER (DO NOT RETALIATE!)," "10% OFF EVEN PAGES," "20% OR BEST OFFER," and "OPEN TO NEGOTIATION." A yellow starburst sticker announces a "SPECIAL 90-DAY PAUSE." The book is credited to "PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP with Peter Navarro."

A cartoon depicts a movie theater ticket booth for a film titled "DEMOCRATS THE MOVIE." The ticket booth is shown with a glass window and a slot for money, and a sign below reads "TICKETS." To the right of the booth, a man and a woman are walking away from the theater, looking disgruntled and conversing. The woman says "I HEARD IT HAS NO REAL PLOT OR STORY AND JUST GOES ON AND ON WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION."

A black and white cartoon depicts a dense and massive crowd of indistinguishable people covering the majority of the frame. At the bottom right, a small sign reads "GAZA" with a skull and crossbones symbol above it. Below the crowd, large text reads "SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION." Above this mass of figures, a military aircraft is shown releasing a bomb. A speech bubble emanates from the aircraft, stating, "ONLY PRECISION BOMBING AGAINST HAMAS."

Two runners stand on a grassy area with a large tree in the background. The runner on the left is a tall, thin man with a headband, wearing a T-shirt and shorts. He is stretching his leg on a metal railing and says to a woman runner, "I'M DOING A 10 K THIS WEEK! MIND YOU, IT WAS A 401 K LAST WEEK!"

A cartoon depicts a large, menacing figure wearing a uniform labeled "ICE" on the sleeve and a cap. He has a sinister grin, sharp teeth, and is holding a small, frightened-looking person by the arm, who is also pulling a small suitcase. This large figure stands in front of a building marked "U.S. CUSTOMS." The large figure says "WELCOME TO THE USA! JUST REMEMBER, I CAN SEARCH YOUR PHONE, REVOKE YOUR VISA, HOLD YOU IN DETENTION FOR INSULTING TRUMP OR ISRAEL, AND SHIP YOU TO PRISON IN EL SALVADOR. ... SO, ENJOY YOUR STAY!" In the foreground, a group of diverse travelers with luggage look on with expressions of shock and fear. One traveler in the foreground says, "MAYBE WE SHOULD'VE GONE ON HOLIDAY IN GREENLAND!"

A cartoon depicts an investment advisor sitting at a desk in an office talking on the phone, presumably to a client. On his desk is a computer monitor displaying a downward-trending line graph. The investment advisor says, "'PLUMMET' IS SUCH A HARSH TERM, MR. DOLAN. WE PREFER TO SAY PRICED 'BELOW COST BASIS.'"

A caricature of Donald Trump, looking very fat, forcefully feeds a bottle labeled "TARIFFS" with a skull and crossbones on it to a small, personified globe. The globe has a distressed expression. Trump has his mouth wide open, appearing to shout, and a speech bubble above him reads, "TAKE YOUR MEDICINE 'DON'T BE STUPID'." Below the globe, small text reads, ""TARIFFS YUM!"

This cartoon pictures A long, narrow hallway with prison cells visible on either side, indicated by barred windows. The word "RIKERS" is prominently displayed above an open doorway at the far end of the hallway. A large group of figures wearing jackets with the letters "ICE" on the back are walking down the hallway towards the open doorway. A thought bubble from a prisoner watching reads "MORE OVERCROWDING."

A cartoon depicts a chaotic scene with members of the Supreme Court gathered at left behind behind Donald Trump, who is drawn to resemble a toddler and holds a sippy cup. The blind Lady Justice is at right holding her scale. Justice John Roberts speaks to Trump, saying "You can keep the alien enemies act, just make sure she's on the next flight." Justice Clarence Thomas holds a can of Coke. Justice Bret Kavanaugh holds a can of Coors beer. Justice Alito has a fishing pole and Justice Amy Coney Barrett holds a bible while wearing a pilgrim-style hat.

A two-panel cartoon shows a couple in their home. In the left panel, the woman stands behind a seated man who is looking at a phone. The man says, "SCIENTISTS BROUGHT BACK AN EXTINCT WOLF. WHAT NEXT?" In the right panel, another women is standing and talking to someone off-panel with a large woolly mammoth partially visible entering the room from the right. The woman's speech bubble says, "HONEY, DID YOU FEED THE WOOLLY MAMMOTH?"
