Tariffs and debt: Top ten cartoons of the week
by Daryl Cagle
Trying to keep up with news out of Trump's White House is a Herculean task even the nation's top cartoons have a hard time pulling off.
Chris Weyant touched on the madness in our most-reprinted cartoon this week, which features a dizzy trade representative nauseous over the administration's ever-changing tariffs.
R.J. Matson's cartoon about the national debt, appropriately represented by the Grand Canyon, hit Trump as he tries to push his "big, beautiful" budget bill through the Senate. His former billionaire buddy Elon Musk isn't helping by calling the bill a "disgusting abomination," in part because it's projected to add trillions of dollars to the federal debt.
After their recent dust up, you'll see plenty of Musk vs. Trump cartoons in the coming days. For now, here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
