It’s hard to imagine what Donald Trump’s daily planner looks like, but I thought I’d take a shot.
Between indictments, arrests, campaign rallies, trials and new crimes, Trump is one busy defendant and head of the Republican Party.
I’m beginning to have a little more hope that he will face some sort of justice — but the fact that he’s clearly the leader of one of the two main political parties in the United States is decidedly less hopeful.
What really scares me is that so many Republicans are still supporting Trump amid charges of conspiracy, fraud and “sabotaging the peaceful transfer of power.”
We can keep a close eye on the Defendant-in-Chief, but it’s the MAGA faithful and their talk of violence and civil war who are the longer-term threat to our democracy.
Something tells me a moderating savior from within the Republican Party isn’t going to appear anytime soon.
And even though I do a little victory dance with each new indictment and booking, I’m worried what Trump and his cultists will do in the face of justice and accountability.
On the behind-the-scenes front, if you missed it earlier this week, I posted an extensive post and video highlighting some of the early creative steps in this animation.
Creative Morning: Donald Trump, Jack Smith & Me
•In this post: Donald Trump, Jack Smith & me. (And a video showing you the first steps of my upcoming animation.) It’s been a busy day so far. Early this morning, I was facing a largely blank sketchbook — although I did have pages full of notes. This
I may post another video that shows how I animated Trump in this animation, or I may just let this animated gif with me looking like an idiot do the talking.
In related news, today I came across this article that gets into the overwhelming mess that is social media and plain ol’ “media” today.
The TLDR is that social media is breaking down and changing into smaller little groups, strings and DMs.
Which makes me feel great about our merry little band here on Substack.
That said, and at the risk of over-buttoning you, please share this Cartoon Update if you can — we’ll beat those damn algorithms yet!
