“Attention all artists, cartoonists, illustrators and doodlers: The Huffington Post is launching a visual storytelling initiative to help document the 2016 presidential election.”
Translation: If you hate Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, please, doodlers, send in your best drawings and they’ll pay you for it. They’re also accepting cartoons on Hillary Clinton “and the entire election.” We’ll have to wait and see if they run negative cartoons of Clinton.
HuffPost naturally has good reason to despise Trump. After all, in 2012 year he remarked on Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington’s looks.
The first cartoons featured have Trump on the wrong end of a seesaw and Trump with a pig’s nose that appears to be a Pinocchio reference to him lying about his plan to build a wall. A third cartoon has Trump picking his cabinet that looks like a rose ceremony for ABC’s “The Bachelor.”
As usual, the site included their infamous “Editor’s note” that calls Trump, a liar, racist and misogynist.
Shockingly, HuffPost says they will pay the cartoonists.
