Category: I

Caption: MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - AUGUST 26: In this satirical editorial cartoon titled "Let's Make The World Small Again" by Angel Boligan, published by El Universal via Cagle Cartoons, a caricature of former U.S. President Donald Trump is shown wearing a long black coat, suit, and red tie, holding a red ball of yarn patterned with the American flag stars and stripes while pulling on a red string that is causing a globe representing Earth to unravel like a ball of yarn on the ground. The cartoon addresses the topic of Trump's protectionist economic policies, including trade tariffs, isolationism, and his "America First" agenda, with the cartoonist conveying that these actions are dismantling global interconnectedness, shrinking international trade and cooperation, and fragmenting the world economy through trade wars and reduced globalization, playing on Trump's famous "Make America Great Again" slogan to imply his approach ironically makes the world "small" in a negative, isolated sense.
