Headline: Donald Trump Pardons Evil Criminals In Pardon Hell
Category: A
Caption: BOSTON, MA - OCTOBER 28: In this satirical editorial cartoon titled "Pardon Hell" by Christopher Weyant, published by The Boston Globe via Cagle Cartoons, two red devils with horns and pitchforks stand amid flames in hell, where one devil says to the other, "Go home. Trump just pardoned everyone who is evil," while the second devil holds a "For Sale" sign with a phone number "800-666-6666," implying hell is now vacant and up for sale. The cartoon addresses the topic of Donald Trump's use of presidential pardons for controversial figures and criminals, such as Jan 6 rioters, George Santos, Binance founder Chengpeng Zhao, and others involved in crimes like fraud and abuse of power, with the cartoonist conveying that Trump's pardons are excessively broad and morally questionable, essentially freeing those who embody evil or corruption, leading to a absurd scenario where even hell is depopulated and commodified, satirizing the erosion of accountability and justice in U.S. politics.
