This political cartoon discusses the topic of the Trump campaign, and how it may severely damage the Republican party, Donald Trump is currently one of the top presidential candidates right now, and is likely the most controversial. Donald Trump has gained significant attention from US citizens, other candidates, the media, and the world. One famous comment from Donald Trump is: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best... They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people". It also took him 48 hours to denounce white supremacists that were supporting him, and didn't really acknowledge that white supremacy exists. He claims to not know anything about white supremacy or even the KKK. He has also been quoted several times for insulting women, calling them pigs, dogs, slobs, and animals. Statements like these are a lot of what makes Trump so well known, but not in a good way. Showing himself as being a racist and sexist person hurts the presidential candidacy to start with, but since he is at the head of the Republican campaign, Trump hurts the Republican party significantly. Since he is leading the Republican polls, he becomes the face or the head representation of the Republican party, falsely portraying the rest of the Republican candidates as sharing all of his policies. In reality, many of the Republican candidates have denounced Donald Trump, claiming him to be ineligible to become president because of his many unfair biases. However, Donald Trumps campaign, even if it doesn't end in him becoming president, will surely damage the Republican party's reputation; damage, if not handled quickly, that may not be irreversible.
