The problem at the border is giving momentum to Trump because he wants the blame the problem on Biden .The burro represents the DEMOCRATS in CONGRESS The Elephant represents the REPUBLICANS in CONGRESS. They agree that the border needs a solution BUT the REPUBLICAN is saying if we solve it now they will give BIDEN the credit. If the problem grows then TRUMP can blame it on Biden and claim that he is the solution. This is why he want’s to “ride the wave” of the migrant crisis with no immediate solution.
Why is Trump riding the waves of migrants?
Why is it so important for them, the Republicans to wait for him to finish riding it to victory ?
It seems politicians or political parties are more concerned with power than solutions to problems. They don’t care about solving the problem now if they can use the problem to gain power in the election by allowing Trump to win because he convinces people that the problem is caused by Biden.

What is the Bipartisan Agreement on Immigration?
- Bipartisan means BOTH parties; Republican AND Democrat
- Both parties agreed on more legal pathways for immigrants
- Money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
- ASYLUM: automatic protection like a visa granted when you are FORCED to leave your country. Under the bipartisan proposal that TRUMP is against it would become much harder for migrants to be granted asylum.
I found this political cartoon a bit humorous because it’s equally biased and shows the true colors of both runners for election. It shows Biden as an 81 year old incumbent President with a walker and it shows Trump as an indicted criminal standing in court. It shows an equal negative bias in this political cartoon. It shows what our options are for the 2024 election. Unfortunately neither option seems positive to most voters.
What do I see? I see that Trump is trying to break democracy with his corruption. emely
What is Trump? A wrecking ball taking the building down.

What do you think this cartoon means? I think this cartoon means that Trump is destroying democracy with his actions… ANSWAR
Why is the Elephant wearing Red?
The elephant is wearing a red shirt because the Republican Party is represented. Emely Madina Red is the color of the Republican party…it also represents anger.
What is happening for the “Third Time”? Dayli:
For the third time TRUMP is on the ballot for President. The first time he won was in 2016. The second time he lost in 2020 and tried to claim the election was rigged. As a result, he has been convicted of criminal charges, he has 91 criminal charges and yet the supreme court is hearing his case for his immunity. He remains on the ballet for his third election.
What is represented by the building? represents the democracy of the USA. Brandy
