This cartoon shows Donald Trump as a child (which he shows himself to be quite often) with his hand in a cookie jar. The jar is labeled "Trump Foundation Cookie Jar" and the cookie "Self-dealing". The phrase, "caught with their hand in the cookie jar" immediately springs to mind. The artist is clearly trying to portray the trump is taking his own "cookies" or stealing from his charity.
Clinton and Trump riding magic carpets made of money, while both thinking "I understand the average person better!" This is strong image, because the average person doesn't have a lot of money like these two. The idea that either of them understands the average man in laughable.

This cartoon shows a man and a woman discussing
the recent debate. A dead heat, half the country hates Clinton and half hate Trump, its saying that either way, no one really likes their choice.
Thinkers
1. How is each candidate portrayed in the cartoons?
The first cartoon shows Trump as a thief
The second shows how out of touch with the average man each candidate really is.
The last shows unhappy Americans are with both of the candidates.
2. Do you feel that these are fair representations?
Yes, these portray exactly how I feel about the candidates right now.
3. Do you think this is an effective means for getting a point across?
Yes, I have a hard time expressing myself in words. Plus the pictures make it easy to SEE what people mean.
Opinion:
Does anyone else not notice that we are constantly referring to Hillary and Trump? Why do we not say Hillary and Donald? Why not Clinton and Trump? Why Hillary? is it the patriarchy keeping her down? Or is it a decision she and her campaign made to separate herself from her husband?
