IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, Trump is using a cringe-worthy cartoon to THREATEN ALL OF NORTH & SOUTH AMERICA. [View all]

The Trump administration is bragging about America’s dominance in the Western Hemisphere with a provocative image of a baseball bat-wielding Donald Trump stomping over global allies.

Emboldened by the extraordinary capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, the administration now appears to be threatening its neighbors with an illustration copied from a century-old political cartoon symbolizing American expansion.

The image, pushed out by Trump’s rapid response team and MAGA acolytes such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, features the president in his trademark dark suit and red tie, with one foot planted on South America and the other stretched over Canada and Alaska in North America.

In his left hand is a baseball bat emblazoned with the words “Donroe Doctrine”: a reference to the two-century-old policy of U.S. leadership in the Western Hemisphere, known as the Monroe Doctrine, which Trump has now rebranded in his own name.
