I would actually agree the complete opposite. Hard, biting satire that makes certain politicians feel very uncomfortable.
Vile cartoon today by Steve Bell. His work recalls ugly cartoons of sans culottes wiping their bottoms on things. Inelegant, ineloquent.

Not sure what a pol is supposed to make of a cartoon of them being sodomized. And it's not an adequate reflection of her speech

Don't take this as literal, they are iconographic representations of their countries: May = Britannia, Trump = Uncle Sam.
-
I'm not sure that's true in this instance. There's nothing iconic about Trump's orange legs or May's heels. It's personal.
-
But the very fact that everyone understood who the characters were by only seeing their feet implies they ARE iconic.

Maybe, maybe. We need to stop talking about this. It's searing the image into my mind...

He obviously drew it before he'd heard May's speech. She stuck it to Trump over Putin, Nato, UN.

A step too far, just because he can. I find that equal too or more offensive than whatever it was DT uttered in private.

if Mrs May was a politician of the left this would have been decried as sexist
