How The Rest Of The World Sees Donald Trump: 12 Foreign Political Cartoons
"The 273 People, Places and Things Donald
Trump Has Insulted on Twitter: A Complete List"
.. lol, yup, some we have seen on Tornado Alley before ..
All the excitement about the 2016 presidential election isn’t limited to the U.S. alone. Media from around the globe are covering this race, too.
And just like U.S. media

[ INSERT: hmm,
Meanwhile, the Fantasy Industrial Complex is doing just fine this election season, thank you. Speaking at a Morgan Stanley investors’ conference in March, one of the commanders of the FIC, Leslie Moonves, the chief executive of CBS and a man whose 2015 compensation totaled $56.8m, had this to say about the Trump campaign. “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS. The money’s rolling in and this is fun … this [is] going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

so too is foreign press particularly keeping a watchful eye on – you guessed it – Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. He’s been a hot topic in international articles, editorials and broadcasts, and which pertain to everything from his bizarre and xenophobic statements to the violence at his campaign events.
One particularly effective way that foreign media have been able to express their opinions on The Donald is through political cartoons. Those editorials of art can capture a lot more public attention, and often with a lot more punch.
Like these 12 in particular (first collected by Politico):

Incidentally, the UK’s William Hogarth .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hogarth .. (1697-1764) is credited with being the first political cartoonist.

This one isn’t against Trump alone, though. See what appears to be Hillary Clinton on the left? The cartoon insinuates that Trump is in the race just to make sure Clinton has an easy win in November.
The phrase translates word-for-word to “Toward an eclipse of the moon” – or “Toward a lunar eclipse.” It seems to refer to legends about lunar eclipses .. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/04/140413-total-lunar-eclipse-myths-space-culture-science/ .. (or “blood moons”) being bad luck, and how (at least) one culture would try to avoid that bad luck.
In ancient Mesopotamia, a lunar eclipse was believed to indicate seven demons were coming to Earth to attack a king. In response, one commoner would falsely pose as the king – a body double who would take the harm in case the demons attacked. (And when the lunar eclipse was over, the pretend king would be killed.)
In other words, then, this one implies that Trump is in the race only as a pretend candidate who could get Republican Party nomination, but who will only fall to Clinton in the general election.
