It’s totally unfair. No other president in history has had such cartoons, so many cartoons, nasty cartoons, drawn about them. No politician in history, believe me. Why won’t FAKE media print cartoons of Clinton and Obama many failures? Sad. Never been a time like this!
Week 17 of the Trump presidency — largely notable for the bombshell appointment of Robert Mueller to lead the investigation into Russian tampering with the 2016 Election and any ties to the Trump campaign — decayed into Trump talk of a witch hunt, a nut job and the incredible unfairness of it all.
Here’s a look back at Week 17 and the reaction of newspaper cartoonists from across the United States and the world. Represented artists are:
