Just in time for Vice President Trump to try and get another high score on the Assholes Who Killed Millions of Their Own People list. Hitler, Mao and Stalin would be so proud.
Vance is VP. We need a new term for Trump now that Musk is the real President. Maybe Junior President?
Transcription: political cartoon style in a single pane:
Three men in a car, the front holds JD Vance in the passenger's seat and Elon Musk in the driver's seat. A strap around the front seat secures a child's toy steering wheel, which faces into the back. Trump sits in back seat, clutching the wheel.
Text on image: "So cute! He thinks he's steering!.."

Oh yeah. I had completely forgotten about JD Vance. I don't have a couch in my house so he's usually out of context.
Assistant president or assistant to the president.
Well.
Maybe we need to rethink the whole structure.
Putin is Pres. Musk is VP...? Turmp is Co-Chief of Staff, along with Vance?
President-consort.
You do realize that Biden just oversaw 4 years of conditions that led to explosion of bird flu, right?
Bird flu has been brewing for years. Biden has been president.

Stop trying to slyly pin this upcoming pandemic on Donald Trump. The upcoming pandemic is a result of decades of regulatory capture and a for-profit Healthcare system that both Democrats and Republicans oversaw at the behest of their billionaire handlers. The issue is not Donald Trump; it is liberal capitalism.
Dude, stop trying to pin this worldwide avian flu outbreak on the United States. There have been animal to human transmitted cases in the US, Australia, Canada, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Egypt, Iraq, Indonesia, and more, and widespread infections are occuring in mammal and bird populations worldwide. New diseases decimating eukaryotic biota predates capitalism by billions of years and viruses have been coevolving with animals that entire time. The US healthcare system has absolutely nothing to do with even the 60ish cases of avian flu that have been detected in the US in humans, though with 60ish cases and zero deaths, all sign point to this not being a very serious illness for humans with access to western medicine.
2020–2024 H5N1 outbreak
Did you even read the article?
I have provided you with a plethora of experts who explain that this avian fku outbreak is directly linked to American officials dropping the ball, but those silly scientists and experts must have forgotten that viruses predate capitalism.. what does that even mean?
You've provided nothing that indicates this avian flu outbreak is directly linked to American officials directly dropping the ball, only that the situation within the United States is worse than it otherwise might be due to the factors identified in the article. This outbreak has been ongoing worldwide for four years and has hit other countries much harder than the US, such as China, Egypt, Thailand, and Indonesia. This has shit all to do with capitalism my dude
