This political cartoon, created by Daniel Medina in 2025, features a caricatured depiction of President Donald Trump standing next to an American flag, which he holds protectively in his left hand while giving a thumbs-up. In his right hand, he wields a lit lighter, using it to set ablaze a hanging poster labeled “The Constitution: Article 1: Freedom of Speech,” with the words “Freedom of Speech” prominently engulfed in flames. Trump addresses the flag directly in a speech bubble: “Relax, Flag! I’m torching their rights before they can torch you!” The illustration employs satire to critique Trump’s recent executive order on flag burning, portraying him as hypocritically undermining First Amendment protections—established by Supreme Court rulings like Texas v. Johnson (1989), which affirm flag desecration as symbolic speech—in an effort to criminalize such acts and “protect” the flag. 0 1 6 The cartoon highlights the irony of restricting free expression to prevent flag desecration, amid Trump’s August 25, 2025, directive to prosecute flag burners with potential one-year jail terms, despite legal experts noting its likely unconstitutionality.
