In a New York Times Syndicate,
Turner created a political cartoon showing the impact of Donald Trump’s tweets
has on the United States of America. Donald Trump is portrayed as a bird who is
“tweeting” on a tree branch. The statue of liberty, a politician, and a
civilian are on the ground looking up at Trump in disgust and disapproval. All
of Donald Trump’s tweets on twitter are represented in this political cartoon
as a disgrace to the American public. He is using his new power as president to
order people around and express his anger when things do not go his way. The
person on the right of this political cartoon looks like a truck driver who
originally voted for Trump but became frustrated with not getting what Trump
said during the process of becoming President of the United States. Donald trump’s position is higher than the
others in this political cartoon to represent Trump’s power over the United
States of America. This political cartoon is an accurate representation of the
effects Donald Trump has had on America.
The rhetorical devices used in this
political cartoon are imagery and symbolism. There are subtle colors used in
this cartoon that represent the figures that are used. The images are in
specific locations to show the importance of the figures represented in the
political cartoon. Donald Trump’s face shows how focused he is on sending all
of his tweets out to the American public to express all of his feelings and his
opinions on the politics going on in America. The other rhetorical device used
in this political cartoon is symbolism. Even though Donald Trump is actually
represented on this political cartoon, he is in the position a bird would make
when sitting on a tree branch. He represents that he is now in control of the
United States of America and he knows everything that is going on. The Statue
of America represents many Americans who were disgusted when Trump became
president.
The author made this cartoon to
demonstrate the impact Trump’s presidency has already had on the people of the
United States of America. The audience is the people reading Donald Trump’s
tweets who only see his perspective. I believe Turner was successful because it
is clear that Trump’s tweets have affected every person living in America.
