Editorial cartoon © 2025 by Rick McKee depicting a caricature of Donald Trump apparently sitting behind his desk in a very posh executive chair in the White house and speaking to a man standing in front of the desk.
Trump is sitting on a Trump Bible and part of an American flag is revealed on a pole behind the chair he is sitting in.
Trump is wearing the standard blue suit, white shirt and too long red tie, which is draped over the desk. His tiny hands are shown. He is holding a sheet of paper in his right hand that is labeled TRADE WAR! He is speaking to the man in front of him and this is what he says:
"THE MARKETS ARE GOING TO BOOM! THE STOCK IS GOING TO BOOM! THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO BOOM!" (this last BOOM is in red)
The man standing in front of the desk is completely aghast, his hand in front of his mouth, looking very scared and surprised, as out the window what he is seeing is what appears to be a huge nuclear explosion with a big red "BOOM" in the middle of it and it is destroying the entire nation.
