$5.1 million in gold leaf for two statues by the Lincoln Memorial. The Interior Department's own word for it — auramaxxing. Posted from their own account. That's not my joke, that's their caption. #politicalcartoon #satire #editorialcartoon #auramaxxing #trump

An ink-and-wash editorial cartoon. On the National Mall, Donald Trump grins and swings a dripping gold paintbrush overhead, saying "More gold." Beside him, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum — wearing a button reading BURGUM / INTERIOR, his suit flecked with gold — hauls a bucket labeled 23.75 KARAT and asks, "Even the squirrel, sir?" At right, a glum National Park Service ranger kneels and paints the tail of a very unhappy squirrel gold. Behind them the Washington Monument stands in scaffolding, half gilded, and a gold equestrian statue gleams on its pedestal. A tree is solid gold; an invoice on the ground reads $5,100,000 beside a crate of gold leaf. The caption banner reads "AURAMAXXING." with the credit "— U.S. Department of the Interior, actual quote."
