Peter Brookes' cartoon in the Times today (£):
A powerful image – but shouldn't that be Obama on the right there? Trump's not president yet. It's Obama who's been turning away and doing nothing.
Perhaps Trump is just a much easier figure to mock.

Obama was an untouchable as far as the sycophantic press – First Black President! – was and is concerned. The Nobel prize before he had done anything was the signal to any who may have even thought about criticising him so critics kept their heads down. Of course, those who have paid most heavily are not white, middle class journalists.

It also implies that there is an easy solution just staring us in the face.

Yes, Obama. Can’t use Trump as a symbol of what the US has done or not done in previous years. Plenty of opportunity for that in the next four years, no doubt.
