Mafia Don
Fiona Katauskas
Donald Trump as 'The Godfather' is a recurring note in this year's cartoons, a characterisation foreshadowed in the first Godfather movie when Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) declares: 'My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator'. The cartoon suggests that Trump's approach to international diplomacy is to use strong-arm tactics to achieve his foreign policy goals.
