When DrJack and I created this cartoon in 2016 for City Press, we were joking. Ten years later, Trump isn’t.

@mortenmorland.bsky.social stars Trump and Musk in this remake of the classic 1805 cartoon by Gillray which featured British PM PItt the Younger and French Emperor Napoleon I, carving up the globe as if it were a plumb pudding. Will the Americans’ overindulgence also bring about their bitter end?
James Gillray’s famous 1805 cartoon depicts William Pitt and Napoleon Bonaparte, both dressed in military attire, seated opposite one another at a table, carving the world with their swords as if it were a plumb pudding. 

It signifies their battle to assert global dominance over one another. 

#EditorialCartoon #Napoleon #War #PittTheYounger #NapoleonicWars 220 years later, Morton Morland’s cartoon replaces Pitt and Napoleon with Trump and Musk.

Gideon Kibet – aka Kibet Bull, known for his “Kasongo” silhouette memes critical of Pres. Ruto – was supposed to depart Kenya today for a year’s study but disappeared on Dec 24, one among many young activists & influencers allegedly abducted lately. #FreeKibetBull
Black silhouette depicting a caricatured profile of Kenya’s President William Ruto. The image recurs in meme images posted to the X social media platform by Gideon Bull, aka Kibet Bull, who disappeared on Tuesday December 24th 2024. Many abductions of young social media influencers and activists have taken place in the last year, allegedly at the hands of state police. Bull’s images have formed a large part of the “Kasongo” trend, mocking Pres. Ruto and popularised by Gen Z Kenyans in recent weeks.
