In the political cartoon, Donald Trump is standing on a platform and is showing that he's running as the GOP's running candidate for Presidency in 2011. he has a button on his chest that says "I Love Birthers." He looks down to a man with the head of an elephant ( likely representing the personification of the republican party), and says, "2012?" with the response being more than fitting, his infamous cach phrase that even the candidate himself is very fond of on the Apprentice; You're fired. this cartoon signifies the authors depiction of the republican party's reaction to his running in 2012; a clear notion that pretty much says, "umm, no thanks," but in the only words that the guy could possibly understand.
perhaps the author decided to throw in the button in the cartoon, to show how ridiculous his running in the candidacy is, and how detrimental it would be in the long run for republicans. His constant attack, and perhaps his main attack that has been working in his favor - besides his popularity on television and in casino towns - would be his visceral aim at president Obama's legitimacy as a U.S. citizen.
In class, we have even touched upon his subject of Trump's running for presidency. Being that the class for the majority are Obama supporters anyway, it is noted that his running wouldn't go far past many citizens in the U.S. Even Ed Morrissey of "hot Air" states that Trump running against him would essentially be "likely handing Obama a second term" if he were to run.
