    I think the gold airplane really adds to it, and making it about the twin towers, an event that is solemn and almost untouchable adds to it.

    The fact is, if someone has just said, “trump is an airplane, and the Rule of Law/Constitution are the twin towers”, we wouldn’t be here discussing it. The existence of this thread and anaylsis kinda undermines your point that the cartoon didn’t add anything.

      If I was the artist’s friend and they just pitched that idea to you with that description… I’d suggest workshopping it a bit.

      And we’re discussing if it’s a good cartoon, not the content of it.

        The cartoon part is supposed to add something that words couldn’t.

        Yep. Seems like it did add a lot of things. Glad that is cleared up.
