On a more positive note there seems a lot of Democrats backing Trump.

That's because he truly believes they are "losers and suckers."

Except for the guy with the X on the shirt who will make billions more US$ because of Trump does anybody recognize the other people in the cartoon?

Of course, you read it. You can always find something that backs up your opinion, but that doesn't make it true.

I think the bloke might be Robert Kennedy jnr. He originally offered to support the democrats in exchange for some senior position but they wouldn't talk to him because he's a raving mad idiot. He then approached Trump who was happy to have him on board.

RFK Jr and, I assume, Tulsi Gabbard (former Democratic house member from Hawaii that has since gone totally off the rails when she realized that saying outrageous things on Fox was a profitable grift).
Apparently the cartoonist doesn't think the Democrats should exclude lunatics from their party. They should embrace them, like the Republicans do.
What a weird take...
Also all of those people left of their own accord. Mostly for the grift. Elon left because he was outraged that the Biden administration suggested that maybe he couldn't let his workers die from covid during the pandemic.

He actually approached Trump, who was non-committal, then he approached the Democrats, who ignored him, then he went back to Trump who supposedly suggested that he'll give him a position in his administration if he wins (some suggested Health and Human Services, which is absolutely mad). On the bright side, Trump is completely untrustworthy and there's a good chance that even if Trump does win, he'll screw RFK Jr over anyway. He wants "yes men" in his cabinet and not people that might upstage him.

Skip what? Its the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack. Every day will be an anniversary of some military tragedy somewhere somewhen. Its not a duty that they skipped, its a tragedy that Trump decided to magnify for his campaign purposes. Which has now backfired somewhat.

If you want to talk about duty to make empty gestures of sympathy, why was Biden the first one to call the widow of Corey Comperator (killed at that Trump rally) to offer condolences (she refused to take the call) and Trump didn't call until several days later when somebody pointed out that he hadn't bothered and it looked bad?
Why did RFK (senior) ask if "everybody was okay?" after being mortally wounded while Trump only asked "where are my shoes?" after being slightly grazed by a bullet?
It's seriously laughable if are going to try to paint Trump as a compassionate person.

They left because they were stitched up by the DNC establishment.
Thats one hell of a "holding the line" argument.

Pretty sure after he was shot he chanted "fight fight fight" as it was on film. But you hang in there pal, I admire your effort.

Don’t be daft - these things are easily fact checked (like the size of crowds) when it’s all on video.Pretty sure after he was shot he chanted "fight fight fight" as it was on film. But you hang in there pal, I admire your effort.
Before Trump fist pumps the air shouting ‘fight, fight, fight’, he is clearly heard at least 3 times saying ‘let me get my shoes’
What kind of twisted person shouts ‘fight, fight, fight’ to drum up the crowd anyway after 2 people have been shot dead and several wounded? Trump behaved like some overgrown kid in the schoolyard who is watching his schoolmates having a punch up. Absolutely puerile behaviour from someone who fancies himself as the next President of the United States.

Please explain how RFK Jr, Elon Musk and Gabbard were "stitched up" by the DNC. Please be specific.They left because they were stitched up by the DNC establishment.

Probably because unlike Trump they had the dignity and respect not to be seen exploiting the deaths of US soldiers for campaign purposes and making the Memorial Day all about them instead of in the memory of the fallen soldiers, hence why it's called a Memorial Day, not a Me Me Me Day

Man, we know that’s never gonna happen.
The guy just spits out things he read on Twitter, and then ignores when politely corrected or asked for proof.
I think you’re asking for a miracle here.

fully agree, i'll point out Memorial day is in May. this was a cermony linked to end of Afganistan war. is there any formal duty relating to ad hoc war memorial ceremonies? kind of the point of Memorial day (equiv to our Armistice Day), roll them all up into one official day of recognition.
I would willingly support Trump being indicted for Crimes Against Humanity on the basis of his truly appalling tailing alone.

Someone who instinctively know what to say to impress impressionable half wits. Half wits who will happily ignore the less impressive 'let me get my shoes'

Yes, it was the third Anniversary of when those soldiers were killed during the withdrawal.
The Memorial Day was the one in France to mark the Armistice which he declined to attend because the weather was bad and he was worried about his hair, and also when he allegedly referred to the fallen soldiers as "losers", so were not considered worthy of him paying his respects, and especially as he wasn't on the campaign trail then so it served no benefit to him.
He obviously thought that the "losers" angle was a more acceptable excuse to use for his non attendance than admitting it was because of his concerns about his hair not being able to withstand the unfavourable weather conditions.
