Putin Makes a Killing, Trump Throws a Tantrum & the Loyalty Test
Five new cartoons today, and Vladimir Putin makes an appearance at both ends. In between: a federal courtroom, a Nobel Prize grievance, and the newest face at the White House podium.
Putin Says He's Going to Make a Killing
Trump says a new Russian diesel deal could help lower fuel prices. Rubio asks the obvious question. Trump's answer has a rather darker meaning.
Then How Are We Supposed to Decide Who Wins?
A federal judge challenges the Justice Department's effort to collect state voter rolls. The government's imaginary reply says the quiet part out loud.
Then Who Am I Supposed to Threaten?
Trump is upset about the Nobel Peace Prize. His adviser has an awkward detail to explain: Norway's government doesn't choose the winner.
Never Having Disagreed with the President
The incoming White House press secretary faces a basic question about the qualifications that landed her the job. The satirical answer is refreshingly brief.
You Hang Up
After a lengthy Trump–Putin call, the Kremlin suggested neither wanted to be the first to hang up. Sometimes world diplomacy sounds a lot like teenage romance.
