Donald Trump Political Cartoon

Political cartoons could be defined as illustrations or cartoon strips that contain a social and/or political message in them. Political cartoons are often based on the current events around when they were written.

During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, one of the Republican candidates, Donald J. Trump, repeatedly warned the U.S. that the election polls were being “absolutely rigged at many polling places.” (“BBC News,” 2016) He tweeted, “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day.” Although the impossibility of rigging an election on such a large scale has been proven, Trump continued making the claim. He continued making the claim was because most opinion polls and news commentators suggested that Hillary Clinton would win the general election. The creator of the “Gimme the gold” cartoon, Mike Luckovich, depicted Donald Trump in a negative light through an effective use of logos, pathos, and ethos.

They use their artistic skills as an aid to convey messages to people of all ages. Political cartoons appear all over the internet and social media. The cartoonists usually distort several of the characters’ physical features in order to emphasize a belief or criticize an idea in the society. A recent political cartoon depicts Donald Trump with a long nose. The cartoonist tried to influence the viewers into believing that Donald Trump is a liar, and he does not fit to be president. It might seem that the cartoonist drew the cartoon just to make the viewers laugh, but his goal was actually to present the reasons why US citizens should not vote for Trump. This drawing might not immediately cause the viewers to alter their attitude towards Trump, but the drawing will appear in the viewer's’ mind whenever the presidential election is mentioned. Sometimes, the cartoon might even influence the viewer to vote for Clinton instead of Donald Trump. The more entertaining a cartoon appear, the faster the picture will spread throughout social media and the internet. This will allow the cartoonist to spread his ideas to a greater amount of

Originating in the 19th century, political cartoons are created and drawn as a means to deliver a message. Whether it be about politics, events or social concerns, the artist is able to express themselves creatively. The cartoons are not only meant to express the view of the creator, but are also open to interpretation. Most political cartoons have a biased point of view and uses rhetoric to persuade its audience.

Political cartoons are an illustrative technique that political cartoonist use to display a message to the viewers about government, world affairs, and politics. In 1754, publishers of the Pennsylvania Gazette published the first political cartoon illustrated by Benjamin Franklin (West, par. 1). Benjamin Franklin used his first political cartoon, titled Join or Die, to gain support from the colonies for the Crown’s war against the French (West, par. 1). Since the 1700s, illustrators use political cartoons as a medium to display political messages to its viewers (West, par. 1). On March 10, 2015, publishers of the Columbia Daily Tribune published a political cartoon, illustrated by John Darkow, titled Hillary Has A Primary Opponent (Darkow,

By using a hurricane to describe the immigration politics hitting the Whitehouse, the author uses both pathos and logos to further his belief that chaos will ensue when the congress must come together to please the president, the supporters of DACA, and the immigrants. However, ethos is where the author lacks rhetorical persuasion as this cartoon is mainly driven by pathos and

This political cartoon ties into my theme since it shows how the man is stressing over the news and thoughts and how he must relieve himself from it all. Not only that, but it also ties into the passage Why I Went to the Woods by Henry David Thoreau. This can be proven as it is seen in the passage when the author says that the character would mine and burrow their way through the hills in front of them. With this being a metaphor, the author uses figurative language as he explains how the character in the passage is trying to get away from all of their bad thoughts, trying to leave all of his stress behind but the stress just continues to pile up, just like a hill. This also ties in with my Theme and my political cartoon since they all show

Indeed, in an era where news of all kinds is only a click away, it seems odd that the simple cartoon could once have been the most influential form of media in the nation. However, one must realize that the target audience of these cartoons were illiterate immigrants and the impoverished masses; before exposure to Nast’s cartoons, they had no way to know that their beloved Tweed was corrupting politics at all. In addition,these comics were published at a time when the United States had the highest newspaper circulation per capita in the world; everyone had access to these cartoons (Leepson 54). Therefore, Nast could use his illustrations to turn politics into a tangible, understandable topic for the American masses; in doing this, Nast paved the way for future illustrators and journalists, such as Homer Davenport, who went on to caricaturize corruption just as his predecessor had (Wang,

Television, in essence, propagated the notion that our presidential candidates were laughing stocks; social media irrepressibly proliferated “memes” highlighting Clinton’s infamous line “Let’s pokemon go to the polls,” and her facetious “dab” dance move, while paying homage to Trump’s eccentric hair style and his strange, arguably disgusting relationship with his daughter. Humor, throughout nearly all epochs of time, serves as one of man’s strongest defense mechanisms, and thus, television proved to be the medium to which this informal atmosphere made light of pervading disdain, playing on the embarrassment of inefficacious leaders by exaggerating the candidate's’ actions and appearances. Neither front was safe. Neither candidate could flee the gawking gaze of American

Though bias is still present due to innate biases of the author, overall this article is a reliable and neutral source. This article discusses how Nast influenced future political cartoonists, calling him “the father of American Political Cartooning.” However, there is almost no discussion into why this label has been applied. After briefly mentioning the title, the author moves on to discussing an example of Nast’s work. While this article gives a usable example of Nast’s works, it contains almost no usable information regarding the artist’s style and how he used his comics to influence public

Presidential Elections in 2016 and presidential campaigns of the Republican and the Democratic Party 's nominees in 2015 and 2016 had become a source of controversy and drama. The participation of the female candidate, who has a high chance of becoming the next U.S. President, controversial remarks of the self-funded billionaire from the Republican Party, major discussions around essential topics, such as economic growth, personal freedom and privacy rights defined the main topics of the debates amongst the candidates. It would be fair to state that the 2016 elections and candidates from both parties have provided enough material to create a multitude of parodies on those debates. There is a variety of key figures, portrayed in these comedic parodies, as well as explicit and implicit messages sent through those parodies. While Republican Party and its leading candidate Donald Trump have given a large volume of reasons for mockery, it is interesting to observe the Democratic Party and the main points that result in the comedic mockery of the debates between the candidates. The main point is that the difference between the implicit and explicit messages has narrowed, mainly as the result of the information availability.

Jimmy Margulies won numerous awards as an editorial cartoonist, and his talent shines in this example complete with a caricature. He publishes to numerous newspapers throughout the country, and targets an audience in SAT Changes not all nationally recognized news outlets reached, known as the parent perspective.

Trump had many goals but President Donald J. Trump most famous goal is to build the “Great wall” the wall that will separate Mexico and it’s people from the U.S. The political cartoon was illustrated by the man Milt Priggee, who isn’t a trump supporter. Milt illustrated his political cartoon image to all trump supporters who are convinced easily by Trumps sayings. This image is persuading the trump supporters to realize that trump does not really cares about the U.S (The Society) and its people, but he's actually selfish by not mentioning the The Society.

This cartoon “Hillary’s Past” was made by Ben Garrison on September 24th, 2014, a year before Clinton announced her candidacy for President 2016. I’ve been told that since she step down to let Obama run his next term, he will endorse her and the presidential chair will be hers. But look where she is now, she had a good run and her lost shocked America. The artist probably heard the same rumor so he decided to illustrate what will follow Clinton throughout her presidential race. The artists seems to be moderate in this given situation. He doesn't portray Hillary as bad as he could. He could be a Liberal Democrat or a Conservative Republican who does not favor Clinton, but it is hard to tell. In this cartoon, Hillary Clinton is being chased after

Throughout history, political cartoons have been used to express an individual or a group of people’s perspectives on certain political or social issues. Through various visual techniques, the cartoonist can portray their values and beliefs on diverse subjects, such as immigration. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, Chinese immigration in the United States rose to unprecedented numbers which prompted many xenophobic Americans to speak out. In “The Chinese Must Go,” the symbolism of the Chinese man running away with a money bag to China represents the belief that Chinese immigrants are exploiting the American economy. In “The Great Fear of the Period,” the symbolism of the Chinese man swallowing Uncle Sam conveys the idea that Chinese foreigners are destroying American culture. Ultimately, “The Chinese Must Go” and “The Great Fear of the Period” both utilize symbolism to portray the United States nativist negative perception of Chinese immigrants in the late nineteenth century.
