In the viral cartoon, which de Adder tweeted last Wednesday, Trump has pulled his golf cart up to two drowned bodies and asks, “Do you mind if I play through?” His image references the widely circulated photo of father Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and daughter Angie Valeria, who died crossing the Río Grande from Mexico to Texas.

The immigration cartoon gained popularity after such celebrities as George Takei and Mark Hamill noted it on social media.

News of de Adder’s canceled contract comes shortly after the New York Times ended its contracts with two political cartoonists, including longtime contributor Patrick Chappatte, whose work appeared in the Times’ international edition. The Times’ announcement followed controversy and an apology from the publisher for an overseas cartoon mocking Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

1. The media are circling the wagons. No criticism of their meal ticket is allowed.

2. This cartoon is ACCURATE in ....

Depicting the Trump Administration for its cruelty to a tee.

Pun intended.

3. Trumpsters don't read the articles, but they look at the cartoons. A cartoon can devastate.

5. There are some tRump humpers in that thread who seem rather triggered

Too fucking bad for them!

6. So, it seems their supposed indifference to criticism only goes so far.

When something really hits home, they feel the need to flex their muscle and hit back.

Oh, sure, "It wasn't us. We didn't fire any cartoonists." If you believe that the Trumpanzees had nothing toi do with the firings, I have some cheap land in Nambia to sell you, and I'll throw in a covfefe plantation for free.

7. I've been sharing the shit out of this once I found out.

The newspaper in question is a conservative rag in New Brunswick, Canada and by a far-right-wing family (The Irvings) that own quite a bit of NB itself...

...which is one of the huge reasons NB is one of Canada's poorest provinces.

The conservative party here and their supporters want NO truths getting in the way of their scapegoating immigrants for the disasters that party creates for itself and Canada as a whole.

Fuck the Irvings.
