I drew him from the speech below.
In this cartoon, the Panama Canal is reimagined as a toll booth, with Trump holding the key , a metaphor for the 1977 treaty that handed control over to Panama. The toll collector, a Panamanian official, demands hefty fees, prompting Trump to quip, “Well, if the price keeps rising, you might as well just take back the road!” This is a nod to the fact that America built the canal, yes, and Jimmy Carter practically gave it away for a dollar. The hidden twist? A subtle reference to China, which, through Hutchinson Holdings, controls significant operations in the canal. Trump’s message is clear: “A deal’s a deal, but this one was a mistake. We want it back. One dollar was not enough. ” The cartoon cleverly critiques the modern geopolitical shift, with Trump’s frustration directed at the escalating tolls and China’s influence over a crucial American asset. Plus if one silly President makes a mistake, another one can fix it!!
