This cartoon came about when I was thinking of ideas related to things Trump has done and said. I thought to myself, why bother? Anything I draw about will be forgotten about in a day or two because of whatever Trump will say or do between now and then. Whether the frenetic pace of activity and outrage is Trump’s personality or the result of a clever strategem, it seems to be working for now. Who can keep up with this guy?

“The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”
—Milan Kundera
This cartoon is timeless – in the sense that it is applicable on any day of Komrade Trumpinskiov’s campaign and/or term of office. (awful term of offal?)
Not to worry, Ted – when he or his deep-state handlers start a thermonuclear war which puts paid to us all, nobody is going to top that one….
