About this ebook
How do you poke fun at a man who’s so absurd he practically satirizes himself? Even two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist Mike Luckovich admits it’s been a challenge covering the Cheeto-in-Chief in his internationally syndicated political cartoons. But Mike rose to the challenge, pulling no punches and stripping down Trump and his cronies with his signature wit and style.
Covering Trump’s antics from the 2016 election through to the Mueller investigation, the cartoons in A Very Stable Genius tackle key moments in Trump’s political career, offering scathing insights on everything from his disastrous track record with women to his revolving-door cabinet to his suspiciously intimate relationship with a certain Russian leader. Woven through with searing commentary and personal anecdotes, Mike’s cartoons will shock and delight you, making you think as much as they make you laugh — when you’re not too busy being terrified.

Introduction
People come up to me all the time and say, Boy, with Trump in office, you’ve got lots of material.
To this, I always reply, Yeah, but it’s like being married to a nymphomaniac: fun at first, but it quickly becomes a nightmare.
Many friends tell me they’ve stopped paying attention to the news to distance themselves from Trump’s daily deluge of nonsense. As much as I might want to, I can’t do that. It’s my job to follow everything he says and does. It’s actually harder coming up with cartoons now. When Bill Clinton, Barack Obama or even George W. Bush were in office and said or did something I disagreed with, my cartoons would exaggerate their statement or action, making it more absurd in order to mock it. With Trump, his absurdity level is already so off the charts, it’s hard to top it in a cartoon.
Here’s an example of a typical day dealing with Trump. I
