Right after learning this week portfolio topic, the first cartoon comes to my mind is this one created by Mike Luckovich back in 2011.
This cartoon is based on a series of debate on Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories which caught public attention because Donald Trump making different statements about the birthplace of Barack Obama.At that time, Donald Trump said that he considers running for President, so it is believed that he tried to attack his competition.
The artist used the artistic techniques of irony and exaggeration to help proving the point.By exaggerating the signature hairstyle of Donald Trump at the left side,the readers can immediately get the ideas of who were portrayed in the cartoon and bring more comedy factor to the cartoon.
Besides, the artist created an imaginary saturation that Trump listening to the results of an opinion poll that shows "97% question whether your hair was born in this country".This used the technique of irony by mocking the publics rather believe that Trump hair is a wig and made from others country compare to the president were not born in United States.
The point of view of the cartoonist can easily seen by the way he mocking the saturation is that he thinks that the way Trump going after Obama after the he had already released the birth certificates back in 2008 is ironic and the motivation is questionable.
I think that it was an awesome cartoon because the way the cartoonist portraying the saturation can easily catch the attention of the audience.They can also get how ironic of the event were which was which the cartoonist tried to prove in a very short period of time.
