Marie Morelli | [email protected] After vowing not to change course, no matter how much pain it caused to investors or the economy, President Donald Trump last week paused stiff tariffs on imported goods for 90 days. Financial markets seesawed wildly as the president imposed tariffs and then lifted them.
Members of Congress heard from worried constituents watching their retirement nest eggs shrivel. Nick Anderson leads this week’s editorial cartoon gallery with a worried Trump supporter so “woke” by the market turmoil that he can’t sleep. The theme dominates this week’s batch of cartoons.
Bill Bramhall draws Trump as the Easter Bunny smashing 401(k) nest eggs against the wall. Dana Summers sees Trump as a matador scaring off the bull market. Drew Sheneman’s retirees have more value in real eggs than their nest egg.
And so on. Trump switched off the tariffs in response to the market’s decline. But who knows if he’ll turn them back on? Mike Luckovich paints the president as a toddler in charge of the remote.
Bramhall riffs on Adolf Northen’s painting, “Napoleon’s Retreat from Russia.” Michael Ramirez’s golden goose, Free Trade, can’t believe he’s the main course. Walt Handelsman has just the thing: “Trump Drama-mine,” a motion sickeness remedy.
Other topics in this week’s editorial cartoon gallery include criticism of rough tactics employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Democrats who covered up former President Joe Biden’s age-related decline; and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s pronouncements on measles and water fluoridation.
Cartoons were drawn by Jack Ohman, Nick Anderson, Bill Bramhall, Dana Summers, Drew Sheneman, Scott Stantis, Walt Handelsman, David Horsey, Phil Hands, Joel Pett and Joey Weatherford of Tribune Content Agency; and Mike Luckovich, Steve Breen and Michael Ramirez of Creators Syndicate.
