MAGA Cartoonist Ben Garrison Turns on Trump After Pro-Vaccine Comments

Controversial cartoonist Ben Garrison’s latest offering takes aim at former President Donald Trump – who once invited him to the White House for a social media summit.

Garrison’s cartoon shows a distraught Trump riding in the back of a “Vaccine Bandwagon” through a crowd of booing onlookers. The cartoon Trump is making a pained face, while an exclamation and question mark ring next to his ear.

Trump foolishly thought his supporters would be loyal forever, but the MAGA crowd has taken on a life of its own and no longer needs its creator to survive. Trump is too stupid and shortsighted to have anticipated this.

He thinks we're all "trans-human" now, as the vaccine rewrote the DNA to the extent that we're no longer homo sapiens, but a mutated fork. This is apparently the Big Evil Master Plan, to eventually deny trans0humans equal rights and protection.

I just let him prattle on and on, its like watching a live-action Energizer Bunny.

I see it EVERY DAY where I live. And on FB from all over. The constant posts about him even now. I cant remember anyone posting glorification about Obama a year after he left office.
And they keep buying his stupid junk merch too

The Trumpers in my area all still have the Trump 20/20 flags and yard signs out. I want to tell them to give it a rest! They literally worship this guy. It truly is a cult. I do not get their devotion to him.

Although i see a crack lately. I read a FB post from Candace Owens advertising an interview with Trump. I always like to read the comments on posts like that. So aside from the usual "fawning", I saw a lot of posts in the vein of "until he became a shill for the drug companies/started pushing the "V" (lots of them wont say vaccine), he sold out," etc. And MANY more than I would have ever expected to see.
He has created a monster that even HE can no longer control.

More and more MAGATs are "taking aim" at Trump over this. It's the first wedge we've seen since the nightmare began. If our pundits and reps could leverage this disconnect between Trump and his followers, his hold on power may slowly begin to fizzle out.

I went to his website and found he is totally crazy but apparently there is a lot of money to be made in selling garbage...and a nice gig for a totally depraved clown that couldn't hold a real job..
