This is a three-panel political cartoon. At left, a doctor in a white coat and tie stands behind a podium and says "WE'VE FOUND SOME ABNORMALITIES IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MEDICAL EXAM, SO WE'VE ORDERED A FOLLOW-UP COLONOSCOPY." In the middle panel, the same doctor says "WHEREUPON JD VANCE WILL BRIEFLY ASSUME THE POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY." In the final panel, two doctors look at a monitor. One says, "WHAT DO YOU SEE UP THERE?" The other doctor replies, "JD VANCE."

This cartoon depicts a career counseling session where a graduate in cap and gown sits opposite a counselor in an office with a "CAREER COUNSELING" sign. The graduate's frustration is evident in the caption below, "$120,000 IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I NEED TO DUMB DOWN MY RESUME?!"
