In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

This characterization is so clearly wrong it really proves the Dems point. Trump made his points acting like a toddler, ranting and name calling. It's possible to support the points he was making but trying to down play his childish antics really discredits anyone trying to do so.

Interesting take... I was more interested in the fact that NATO allies are not paying their fair share and have not for years.  Apparently someone got someones attention...

I think that is the bigger issue. However the point of the cartoon is that Dems are over the top with these types of complaints and portraying Trump mildly making the point.  I think even the biggest Trump supporter would acknowledge that is not his style.  To the bigger point (which is not what this cartoon is about) let's hold NATO's feet to the fire to pay their fair share.

OK... I guess I understand your objections to the exaggerations of the cartoon... but IT IS a political cartoon.  Exaggeration is the method frequently used to make multiple points with a sentence or two... It is used to get your attention and make you think about multiple ideas in three sentences in this case... Nato and hypocrisy... all in one innocent little cartoon...  :)
