Donald Trump is in the UK during the commemoration of D-day. The allies defeated the Nazis. They didn’t praise them as fine people as he did the white supremacists of Charlottesville. Here is the only D I think fitting. His father was arrested at a Klan rally.
He keeps giving, only in the sense he keeps reaching new levels of dumb arrogance. The accusation that he is, through his Trump Tower Moscow, a compromised asset of Russia seems less and less unlikely with every new revelation.
He recently revealed the stupid design for his stupid border wall:
So I thought I would quickly add my own comment on it, here, this simple detail:
Trying to capture Donald Trump in a sketch, I eventually ended up with this. His father Fred was arrested following a Ku Klux Klan and NY Police related altercation in 1927.

In Orlando, a man with an assault rifle killed 50 LGBT people and injured 53 more in a gay nightclub he used to himself frequent. After murdering these people he rang 911 and pledged his allegiance to Islamic State, which has since applauded his actions.

But this hatred is normalised to murderous effect in countries that kill people, now in 2016, for being gay.
There are 10 countries where homosexuality is punished by state enforced execution, the majority of them are Islamic, including Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. See the Washington Post’s map
The idea that your God would want gay people killed while making one in ten of all of us, atheist, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist etc. gay, is ludicrous to me, that is what this cartoon is about.
