Jouquette has taken Trump’s hand size down to the limit of unaided recognition, something I have been waiting for.

Wow.
Thought he had his hand in a pocket until you pointed that out.
Brilliant.

It could be a cufflink.

You nailed it first time.
As did the cartoonist.

Just kidding about the cufflink! :smiley:

Note the tiny hand on Epstein’s shoulder… something that he wouldn’t have minded, I gather. :rage:

I think we need an Il Douche Ugliness Scale in political cartoons. This one gets a relatively low score:

★★☆☆☆

On the other (tiny) hand, this one:


is terrific:

★★★★★

I always (and I am not alone) look for how Trump’s hands are depicted in political cartoons. Tells me something about the cartoonist. Re Trump, it’s my benchmark.

I’m not sure if anyone on the right side of “The Pond” is aware of how cartoonists on this side troll Trump by alluding to his small penis, and that by showing him with small hands. Spitting Image continues to show him with normal size hands. That’s wrong. That’s very wrong. Someone should have a talk with them.

True, although I think Jouquette makes up for that by the needle-sharp political comment in the word balloon. I like both cartoons. One delivers a very clear political message, while the other illustrates his ugly vulgar character… externally and otherwise.

Good point. Perhaps we need two (or more) scales.

If this was a war (and it kind of is) then I’d say the two cartoons above present two fronts in the fight. One is intended to make voters think, and the other disrespects Trump in ways that Trump (being intellectually stunted and thin-skinned) would find much more troublesome, something that, for me, is the sophomoric joy-giving cherry on top of Jouquette’s style. What’s a meal without dessert.

Oh, over here we are well aware of the small hands thing.

And the infamous mushroom. :nauseated_face:

I was fooled only by Jouquette’s so extremely tiny depictions of his hands, mayhap I’ll pay even closer attention in future.

I’d say we ALL have to remain vigilant since the race to the “smallest” continues.

Anything smaller may require that the cartoonist include a magnified insert. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Was that taken from the kompromat videos that Putin has over Trump?
