The
cartoon above depicts Donald Trump in a meeting with Adolf Hitler on the show “Celebrity Apprentice”. The cartoon serves to draw connections to Donald
Trump’s policies on Muslims in America and Hitler’s policies on Jews in Europe.
The artist shows that Trump’s plans are eerily similar to those Hitler
implemented shortly before the start of the holocaust. The cartoon demonstrates
how extreme the policies Trump would like to implement are, by comparing them
to those of a cruel, extremist dictator. The fact that this is all happening on
a TV show may be commenting on Trump’s celebrity status and his complete lack of political experience. The
gesture that Trump takes in the comic may be alluding to the fact that Trump is
believed to have connections to racist organizations. Trump’s attitude in the
comic is loud and obnoxious, which reflects the immaturity he has displayed
throughout the presidential race. Trump has been known for being unprofessional, often resorting to name calling, tantrums, and slandering
opponents rather than formulating counter-arguments in political interactions.
The artist of this comic also seeks to mock Trump’s physical appearance, which
is apparent in his depiction of Trump’s hair and disproportionately small
hands. Ultimately, the artist’s depiction of Trump portrays him as an extremist
who may be too inexperienced and immature for the job of presidency.
