It was another eventful week in the Trump presidency. The adult cartoon satire “South Park” took aim at Donald Trump’s association with the jet-setting sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s personal attorney, now a top official in the Justice Department, met twice with Epstein’s jailed co-defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Jack Ohman leads this week’s editorial cartoon gallery with his depiction of “South Park-a-Lago,” drawing Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, attorney Todd Blanche and Maxwell as South Park characters. Nick Anderson draws Trump atop the rubble of America’s social and political norms, complaining that “the South Park guys went too far.” On a visit to Scotland, Joey Weatherford’s Secret Service agents protect Trump from Epstein questions … and the Loch Ness monster. In another Anderson offering, Trump makes like Indiana Jones and tries to outrun a boulder of Epstein allegations. Trump is also the subject of cartoons about his fight with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and negative view of wind farms.

A new set of tariffs kicked in at week’s end. Dana Summers depicts Trump as having bagged a big trade trophy: the European Union. Michael Ramirez ridicules the president’s answer to every question: more tariffs.

Another big topic this week: the reverberations of Trump’s cuts to the federal government. Walt Handelsman views the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as switching from protecting the environment to fouling it. Bill Bramhall draws EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin burning clean air regulations in a coal furnace.

Other news events covered in this week’s gallery include Texas flood recovery and redistricting; the Democratic Party’s messaging troubles; former Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision not to run for California governor; and the deaths of satirist Tom Lehrer and Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg.

Cartoons were drawn by Jack Ohman, Nick Anderson, Bill Bramhall, Dana Summers, Drew Sheneman, Scott Stantis, Walt Handelsman, David Horsey, Phil Hands, Joel Pett and Joey Weatherford of Tribune Content Agency; and Mike Luckovich, Steve Breen and Michael Ramirez of Creators Syndicate.
