Part 1: Cartoonist Garry Trudeau: 30 Years of "Doonesbury" on Donald Trump

democracynow.org - Cartoonist Garry Trudeau has been writing about Trump and a possible run for the presidency for nearly 30 years, prompting Trump to call him a "third-rate talent," a "sleazeball," a "jerk" and a "total loser." Trudeau is the creator of the popular comic strip "Doonesbury" and the first cartoonist to win the Pulitzer Prize. In September 1987, Trudeau published a series of comic strips that now seem prophetic. In one strip, reporters ask Trump a series of questions about his political ambitions to run for Congress, and Trump responds, "President, think president." Trump has remained a frequent character in "Doonesbury" ever since, giving Trudeau a chance to make fun of everything from Trump’s hair to his ego to his rampant use of insults. His cartoons have just been collected in a new book titled "Yuge!: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump."

    Bought and devoured "Yuge" last week, and the entire coast of California could probably hear me guffawing. I've been a loyal Garry Trudeau fan for decades, and had been telling friends and family for YEARS that "Trudeau predicted all this!"

    Garry Trudeau is an amazing cartoonist, I find it sad that Democracy Now loves this guy yet at the same time condoned the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists. Both Garry Trudeau and the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists have both stood up to oppression through art and should be both honored as heroes in the modern art world.

    I think you mean "condemned", rather than "condoned". To condone is to approve.

    JD you got it all n this one one. PBO has no credibility since people who liked their plans didn't get to keep their plans. That was mostly his part b/c he did not care about the details of the bill; which was probably written by the insurance lobby. TPP sounds like it makes the ACA look like a trip thru an amusement park. I wonder what was pitched to him about TPP.? Who pitched it? Who wrote it?
