Donald Trump and his re-election campaign are facing a huge backlash from the public after the debacle that happened with the Pulitzer-winning cartoonist, Nick Anderson. As reported, it all started when the artist uploaded a drawing of the US President on Redbubble's site, which is an on-demand retail platform.

On May 17, the "satirical cartoon" went live on the site for "print-on-demand" creations, according to Business Insider. The cartoon, which carries the title, "The Trump Cult", reportedly features Donald Trump, alongside his supporters, who are all in red MAGA hats.

The illustration shows that the US President is serving his supporters with a "purple liquid" drink from a container that has the labels, "Kool-Aid," Chloroquine," and "Clorox."

The same publication noted that these labels seemingly referenced several infamous events that happened in the past. Primarily, the Kool-Aid is reportedly a reference to the 1978 "massacre," where 900 individuals died due to cyanide poisoning. As stated, the cult leader, Jim Jones, served the 900 people in his compound with Kool-Aid "laced with cyanide."

In the case of the chloroquine, Donald Trump reportedly "touted" the consumption of the "anti-malaria drug" to protect himself from COVID-19. This is despite the health official's recommendations that this should not be taken.

As for the Clorox, this is reportedly a direct reference to the controversial "injection" of disinfectants, a musing shared by the US President to reportedly treat COVID-19.

In less than 24 hours after the cartoonist uploaded the satirical cartoon, reports said that Nick Anderson received an email from the platform informing him that his artwork had to be removed from the marketplace. As stated, it likely contains "material" that violates the rights of others. Later on, the email reportedly revealed that the owner of the rights was Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

In a report released by The Guardian, it was shared that the cartoonist expressed his thoughts on the matter through a post for the Daily Kos. In it, Nick Anderson reportedly believes that the "trademark infringement claim" was made by Donald Trump and his camp likely because of the "MAGA hats." Nevertheless, he reportedly described the whole debacle as "absurd."

With the help of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, the cartoonist and the CBLDF reportedly wrote a letter to Redbubble. As explained, they laid out the "legal precedent" of the artwork, as well as Nick Anderson's First Amendment rights.

By May 27, the platform reportedly "reinstated" the satirical cartoon. Redbubble was also said to have shared their apologies for all of the "inconvenience."
