2019 editorial cartoon year in review: President Trump at the center of the storm - syracuse.com

Here is a selection of cartoons from the more than 1,400 we published in weekly galleries on Syracuse.com during 2019.

The year began with a standoff between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Donald Trump over funding for a border wall, and ended with the president’s impeachment.

In between, controversies erupted over treatment of migrant children in U.S. custody; diplomacy between Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un; trade wars and tariffs; release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election; the 50th anniversary of the moon landing; the crowded race for the Democratic presidential nomination; and two articles of impeachment adopted over Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

The weekly editorial cartoon gallery also is a reminder of news that flared up and then just as quickly fell out of the public’s consciousness, such as: the U.S. pullout from Syria; the devastating hurricane that hit the Bahamas; health worries over vaping and subsequent state and federal bans; mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio; a controversial rewriting of the Emma Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty to reflect the Trump administration’s “public charge” rules for immigrants; pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong; the fire that nearly destroyed the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris; Trump’s undying criticism of the late Sen. John McCain; Facebook privacy scandals; and a measles outbreak due to distrust of vaccines.

Cartoons were drawn by Bill Bramhall, Dan Wasserman, Dana Summers, Drew Sheneman, Scott Stantis, Walt Handelsman, David Horsey, Phil Hands, Joel Pett and Joey Weatherford of Tribune Content Agency; and A.F. Branco and Michael Ramirez of Creators Syndicate.
