Caption:
“If we can’t keep them out… we’ll wall ourselves in!”
A satirical jab at isolationist, nationalistic policy now turned inward and cannibalistic.

🖼 Cartoon Concept:
Characters:
- Donald Trump, oversized and dramatically orange, wearing a crumbling red MAGA crown.
- A group of confused National Guard troops, holding blueprints labeled “Wall Deconstruction Order #1776.”
- Border residents, some cheering, others scratching their heads while holding DIY wall souvenirs.
- A smug Stephen Miller, sitting at a desk marked “Reverse Immigration Office,” shredding DACA papers gleefully in the background.
Setting:
The U.S.-Mexico border, with a half-demolished segment of the border wall behind them. Dust and debris rise as machines tear the wall down—not to open the border, but to rebuild it inland, around red states only.
Action:
Trump is dramatically pointing at a “new border outline” map drawn in crayon that includes only Florida, Texas, and the Dakotas. The National Guard troops are clearly confused, unsure whether they’re building or tearing down. One soldier holds a jackhammer; another holds a brick.
Tone & Style:
A blend of MAD Magazine-style caricature with exaggerated, grotesque features. Bright, clashing color palette to amplify the absurdity. Sarcastic speech bubbles like, “We’re not retreating—we’re just redistricting!”
