America's Changing Political Landscape
Greg 'Smithy' Smith
Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota features the sculpted heads of four former US presidents – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln – all of whom were colossal figures in America’s foundation and development. In Greg Smith’s cartoon, the quartet look on with alarm at the addition of two new heads: Donald Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance.
