Five new cartoons today.
THE BAN ON THE FREE PRESS
Trump says he has “more bans going than any human being.” Then someone reminds him which one they're asking about.
SAME DEAL, DIFFERENT DAY
“They really want to make a deal.” “We'll see what happens.” The press corps has heard this one before.
THE ETERNAL FLAME
The FAA wanted a warning for pilots. Trump sees the finishing touch his giant golden arch was missing.
GREENLAND FOREVER
Denmark calls it a defense agreement. Trump hears “Infinite Life — No End!” and reaches a somewhat different conclusion.
I'M DOING SCIENCE
Five shots. Twenty percent each. Six months apart. Please don't interrupt the president while he's doing science.
