We Eat the Poor Darrin Bell

The first year of the Trump presidency was a test of our national character. Did we pass? Follow the exploits of our new president and Congress as they try to repeal Obamacare, let restaurants confiscate tips from employees, hike taxes on the poor, slash them on the rich, declare the Media an "enemy of the American people," brush off a neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, ban travel from Muslim countries, steal a Supreme Court seat, ban transgender troops from the military, privatize sacred Native American national parks, slash Medicaid, leave Puerto Rico to die after Hurricane Maria, and obstruct justice all over the place. Bonus content: Watch the new president malign women he'd allegedly sexually assaulted even as the #MeToo movement finally begins holding sexual harassers and predators accountable. "We Eat the Poor" compiles the political cartoons of 2017, created for newspapers by award-winning cartoonist Darrin Bell of the Washington Post Writers Group.
