I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye

Cartoon. Two people standing on a stage looking at a third person who is jumping down through a trap door. In the foreground we see the backs of the audience’s heads. One standing people observes “It’s just a stage he’s going through”

Donald Trump tries to smear Greta Thunberg for Israel.

“She's a troublemaker, she has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor she's so crazy.”

He's only making everyone love her more.

What a horrible, horrible human being. Now chatting all the bile he's got away with in his clubhouse over the years but in the White House while a compliant media say nothing. 🤬

President Trump says he was talking to the President of Somalia and said,

"We have someone from Somalia telling us how to run our country, would you like her back?"

Trump is referring to Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Just a bit of casual racism from The White House 🤷‍♂️
