President Trump goes to Europe — and satirists have a field day
Make way for Trump. Key US allies are doing a lot of wincing and jaw-dropping this week as Trump seems to diss them at every opportunity during his trip to Europe.

There were the explosive comments about the NATO alliance, the criticism of UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit strategy. And obviously there’s plenty of room for satirising the relationship between President Donald Trump and Russia.
Here’s just a sampling of how satirists and cartoonists have responded to President Trump’s encounters with key American allies on his trip to Europe and Britain.
