Editorial cartoon © 2025 by Patrick Blower depicting a caricature of the 1992 painting "The Singing Butler" by Jack Vettriano (1951-2025). This caricature of that stormy scene is captioned "RIP JACK VETTRIANO" across the bottom. In this case, the dancing couple, in the middle, are trump and putin doing what looks like a waltz on tippy toes, smiling at one another with glee, face to face, body to body, both in blue suits, although putin has a wide red, white and blue ribbon from neck to waist going over his right shoulder, across and down to his left waist; trump's right hand is holding putin's left hand up as in a waltz, trump's left arm is wrapped around putin's back and his left hand is on top of the ribbon, while putin's right arm and hand is holding onto trump's right shoulder. On the left, in place of the maid, we have vance, in his tux, a black suit with tails, white shirt, black bow tie, with black shoes, holding a black umbrella in his right hand (same as the maid) with his left hand holding onto his red MAGA ball cap (with maid holding her cap too). On the right, in place of the butler, we have what appears to be musk, also wearing a tux and a red hat but facing away from the viewer with his left arm holding a black umbrella (same as the butler), with the arm blocking his face, holding a cell phone in his right hand that is tuned to "X", formerly Twitter, that he reportedly paid $44 BILLION for in 2022, whereas in The Singing Butler the right arm of the butler cannot be seen.
