Political Cartoonist Rob Rogers Fired After Making Fun of Trump
---------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, longtime political cartoonist Rob Rogers has
been fired from his job at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after 25 years,
in what he says was a response to his critical cartoons about President
Trump. Among his recent sketches that his editors refused to publish was
one that depicted a caution sign with a silhouette of Trump snatching a
small refugee child, as well as a Memorial Day cartoon in which Trump is
laying a wreath in front of a gravestone for "truth," "honor" and "rule
of law."
