This is a slide show of 17 international cartoons-- worth a look.
Considering how much The Donald [del]wants[/del] demands to be liked, his people had best keep these away from him. He may push the nuclear button out of thin-skinned, foot-stomping, teary-eyed hurt. Yeah, he’s enough of a big, clueless baby to do that.
My faves: one, two. The second one would be more accurate if he had his hand on Lady Liberty’s crotch.
I don’t get the Guernica one. Who are the other people?
Surely it’s unAmerican to care what non-Americans think?
The topless guy is Putin…not sure who that is on his leash.
Bashir al-Assad, I suspect.
Nice to see Michael de Adder in there. My roommate at university worked with him on the school newspaper.
I think this Australian cartoon encapsulates the horror, although I would not be surprised if those with a similar world view as Trump saw it in an opposite light.
Wow. That one says it all.
I don’t get #14 (Singapore). What does it mean to have a tie for a tongue?
#16 (Brazil) seems like one his followers might agree with, treating the press as the enemy juicers to the good and [del]righteous[/del] Big Orange.
#17 (Netherlands) seems to be more about their own politicians being fair weather and changing their own views to match his. None of them is willing to keep their own hair.
Finally, I’m not sure why they didn’t translate Kompromat in #6 (Russia), which seems to basically just be saying he somehow keeps dodging all the attacks on him.
Whew. Now that a couple of people have expressed their dislike of Trump he is surely going to turn the Presidency over to Hillary.
Those don’t appear to be the world’s opinion of Trump. Or the people of the world’s opinion of Trump. They do appear to be the opinion of several select political cartoonists.
I’m amazed at how poorly the cartoons are drawn.
This Dutch video has been going viral this week.
So Europeans prefer left-wing American presidents to right-wing American presidents. What a surprise…NOT.
No, that cartoon shows the leaders of the big xenophobic demagogue political parties of some European countries, all with Trump-like hair to show their similarity to Trump. Geert Wilders, the Dutch Trump, has been in Dutch politics for 10 years.
I took #17 to depict the growing nationalism and rise of “Trump-like” politicians in Western Europe. I assume the woman in front is supposed to be Marine Le Pen
They do, but the scale on which they dislike Trump is unprecedented. Much like in the US.
Trump is weekly front page news over here. The Netherlands watches in fascinated horror.
As we all do. More horror than fascination, I’m sorry to say.
Most of the world viewed Dubya Bush unfavorably and Obama favorably.
I would have assumed that Trump would therefore be reviled, but, since the world seems to be turning on its head, I will now be looking with keen interest at the next worldwide opinion polls of Trump to gauge the strength of the re-surgence of hard- and far-right sentiment. As well as global elections, of course.
Also, cartoonists are probably inherently more likely to be left-leaning - and therefore anti-Trump - since creative, artistic and innovative people tend to be liberals and politically on the left.
I was hoping it would be that one.
