"A gift from heaven".
It is in these terms that the American president qualified his illness, Wednesday, October 7, in a video addressed to his sympathizers.
Tested positive for Covid-19 on October 1, Donald Trump decided to resume his campaign after a few days, in defiance of health rules, while the pandemic is wreaking havoc in the United States with more than 210,000 victims already recorded.
This ubiquitous situation is the theme of a series of illustrations chosen by Cartooning for Peace.
Caricatures that allude to the American president's penchant for experimental treatments, "fake news" or even limitless provocation.
The French "artisan press cartoonist" Soulcié has chosen to highlight the American president's unconsciousness with regard to the dangerousness of the disease for those around him.
Cartooning for Peace is an international network of cartoonists committed to promoting, through the universality of press cartoons, freedom of expression, human rights and mutual respect between populations of different cultures or beliefs.
