The Late Show Essay

(“Your Dictionary,” 2016) Trump’s arrogant statement and expression could evoke annoyance from the people seeing the cartoon and make them want to facepalm. Since his statement implies that the others, despite how capable they look, could not win against Trump without the race being rigged, many would begin to doubt Trump’s rationality. The swimming race takes place in the Olympics, an event that many take seriously. Many fans of sports and the Olympics would be disappointed and almost offended to see someone like Trump as the representative of their country. This situation could be considered a play on how many would be disappointed and concerned when realizing that Trump would represent their country and potentially embarrass

Clearly John Oliver pulls in a large audience for his HBO satire/talk show. However, this gives him an edge when talking about somewhat dry topics like politics. No matter what your opinion’s are of Oliver, he has conducted a great deal of research for this sketch. He uses past clips of Trump and his family speaking, twitter post and legal disputes (like how Trump was suing over a biography undervaluing his wealth). He used what appeared to be qualitative research to dispel fact from fiction by showing viewers the “uncensored” side of Donald Trump. Most critics of Trump focus on traits of his personality and past decisions based on it. To be persuasive to people who do not share your viewpoint, you also need to introduce facts in a debate.

In the cartoon, the first noticeable item would be the phrase “Love trumps hate” spread over three different panels. The phrase derives from the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump; many of Clinton’s supporters viewed, and an overwhelming majority still view, Donald Trump as a person who incites hate and violence. In response to him inflammatory rhetoric and often controversial platform, Clinton supporters coined the phrase “love trumps hate.” It is an obvious play on the President’s name; an attempt to make his name forever synonymous with hate and violence. However, following the days of the election, and for many months prior, those same people began rioting and inciting violence towards Trump and his supporters. Many people were physically assaulted and hospitalized due to the actions of “loving” Clinton supporters because they exercised their first amendment right to wear a shirt or a hat to show support of their candidate.

“It is within the established American tradition of satire. If America surrenders on this point, the freedom of speech is relic of history”- Pamela Geller. Currently, citisens of the United States are under the influence of their 45th President Donald Trump, who is an individual with strong opinions on race and sex. But, wants to have respect from everyone who did and did not vote for him during the election between him and Hilary Clinton. The 45th president, wants to overtake freedom from citisens as he wants everyone to hail down to him to see him as king to feel like they have power over everyone has a royalty.

Amidst the prime-time republican presidential debate broadcasted at the Reagan Library, all eleven candidates including Donald Trump had something to prove. A record 23 million people tuned in to watch the dispute. Early in the debate, Donald Trump was the obvious forerunner amongst his peers. He came in with the most support and confidence, and as an individual he couldn’t be tainted; despite all of the attacks made against him in those three hours, Trump stood his ground. Quick wittedly answering questions from the podium ranging from foreign policy to child vaccines. Furthermore, Trump had the spotlight throughout the entire debate; he was persistent in answering a variety of questions and gaining support via the audience as well as his fellow nominees.

Political cartoons and satire are a prevalent way to depict the current viewpoints in the political system. In some cases, the cartoons can polarize people when they push the envelope too far. However, in many cases, Democrats and Republicans alike can join in laughing at the humor intended by the illustrators and writers. For my cartoon, I chose to draw a picture of an elephant crushing Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate. The meaning behind my cartoon is that even Republicans are trying to keep Trump from saying all the highly opinionated, offensive, and negative things in his political campaign.

The television show Saturday Night Live is known for mocking presidents. In the 1970s Chevy Chase impersonated President Gerald Ford. More recently Alec Baldwin has been targeting President Donald Trump, during both his campaign and after the election. Earlier this year, Baldwin was seen poking fun at Trump’s lack of impulse control. Ironically, Trump tweeted during the show saying, “Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse.” Political satirization is often present on Saturday Night Live especially involving President Trump. Baldwin portrays Trump as pugnacious and confused about the power he now possesses. Before his election, Trump’s campaign

Donald Trump on television is like coming home again… he is a natural and by far TV land it is his favorite arena to be in because he is a master at captivating audiences.

So we have all the ingredients for a satirical article to take off: We have the believable absurdity of the situation, we have a similar precedent firmly ingrained in our minds, said precedent is far enough back that you might not immediately think of it, the article is well written and the action feels in character for Mr. Trump. Especially following his lackluster performance where one of his largest detriments was that he had the sniffles. Given everything we have seen from the man, how would it not be believable for him to skip a debate after realizing that all he did was flail about?

"It is really nice to win the delegates with the votes," Trump said. "Nobody should be given delegates, which is a ticket to victory but not a fair ticket."

A political cartoon is a cartoon that makes a point about a political issue or event. The cartoon GOP, (which stands for Grand Old Party,) and Justice proves that Donald J. Trump is corrupt, he wants immigrants to leave or be blocked out of America, he judges people on their looks, gender, color, and nationality! Do we really want this man as our President?

). The setting of the cartoon is minimalist because the only background we require is for president Obama. Obama looks like he is in a office. The office is identifiable from the chair and desk. The office is representative of any president because that’s where they produce most of their work. Bush has numerous props, such as the weapons and artillery, which he carries behind his back, and grenades he has wrapped around his waist. He also carries two documents with the captions of “IRAQ” and “AFGHANISTAN” (Handelsman Cartoon). Bush steps on a banner that says “Mission Accomplished” (Handelsman Cartoon). These props add to the meaning of the cartoon because it reinforces what Handelsman tries to tell us. He strengthens the fact that Bush is

This image published in Columbia Daily Tribune, was titled Donald Duck, a famous disney cartoon character who was often characterized as angry and annoyed. This exemplifies how easily angered Trump is. He hides from Megyn Kelly, an anchor for Fox news, because he sees her to be unfair. He is scared to confront Kelly because she does not play by his rules and therefore doesn't deserve to be in his presence. He avoides her by not showing up to the most recent Republican debate. Darkow illustrate Trump inside a chicken house, an animal associated with cowardice, to show Trumps childish behavior. Trump ducks away in the house while a chicken is the one that states

As November rolls along and the presidential elections begin, political cartoons on the candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, come into play. While there are numerous issues currently being advertised about in the media, there is only one issue that I feel is most spoken about, that should not be. That issue is immigration. While Hillary Clinton feels that immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S., Donald Trump is a massive supporter of sending back any immigrants, especially Mexicans, to their birthplaces. I believe that Donald Trump is a huge racist and does not care about other people that are not of his race. Political Cartoons by cartoonist John Darkow and John Cole illustrate how irrational and racist Donald Trump’ views on

Besides in my opinon, being the greatest cartoon character ever, Donald is the one in the little blue suit that is more often in a rage than not. His personality shows through actions. He gives new meaning to the phrase: "Actions speak louder than words." His lines are few and almost indecipherable, forcing his actions to speak the volumeof his parts. His personality makes his character almost unpredictable and yet so predictable. One can almost guarantee a rise in temper, but why? We'll just have to wait and see.
