Invoking Vietnamese era symbolism seems a bit of a stretch, to me, but I suppose it’s designed to shock – though Trump’s attempts at destroying America have long since ceased to shock – his attempts along with the moronic imbecility of his followers make the results all too predictable.
Jared and Ivanka are not victims of war. They will be just fine. In fact when tRump finally dies watch for her to be the one that ends up with ALL the scraps that are left over from her fathers businesses.
I just tried to use an earlier banned comment within a reply and it was banned again with the warning “Hold on. Your comment includes word(s) on our banned list. Please edit your message and try again.” There’s nothing offensive in my comment, except I did leave out an article “the” but that couldn’t be offensive, can it?
You know, this toon reminds me so much of the photo taken of a naked Vietnamese girl fleeing an element of that war. Even the drawing of Jared looks like the Vietnamese man to her right also fleeing the atrocity of war. No doubt these children are fleeing their father’s war and its aftermath.
What does a deplorable, vapid, privileged “princess” have in common with a Vietnamese child who was on fire from a deadly napalm attack? This parody completely cheapens and dishonors Phan Thị Kim Phúc’s trauma and survival.

Wow. That’s quite a stretch. Thanks for the strategically placed bills…

There’s a piece by the original Vietnamese “napalm girl” in the NY Times last Sunday, which may have sparked this image.

Trump’s blowtorch rhetoric is only beginning. Just wait for the full strength incendiary bombs!

Somehow this depiction doesn’t move me nearly as much as the original did. Must be age, cynicism or because the targets deserve this?

I love you Jeff, and I’m usually bulletproof, but this one might’ve been in bad taste.
