From many hours of anxiety to the defining moment of the Trump Presidency: the 30th week of Donald J. Trump as president was a rare week where just two issues eclipsed all else.
The first: the threat of nuclear war with North Korea, as Trump promised “fire and fury” in response to North Korea’s continued advancements in its nuclear arms program.
The second: the deadly demonstrations of white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Trump’s response that there was “blame on both sides.”
Lost, for much of the past seven days, was the continuing controversy over Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential Election. Or any thing else, for that matter. Cartoonists across the country turned from inking opinions on the North Korea-U.S. standoff to the president’s much-panned response to the disgusting display of hate and bigotry over the weekend.
