This cartoon is a commentary on the 2024 presidential election with the re-election of former president Trump being only the first president since Grover Cleveland to win two non-consecutive terms. Grover Cleveland did so in 1892. This cartoon uses one of George Bush’s famous Bushisms. The popular saying really goes “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” President Bush didn’t quite get there and ended up creating a word salad for the ages.
