Northern Illinois Students Unhappy with Anti-Trump Cartoon that Reference Bathroom Bill Debate

Share this article

Apparently, cartoons and jokes are not in style in this hyper-sensitive, politicized world. A cartoon that mocked President Trump’s hand size aired in a student newspaper at Northern Illinois University, only to see LGBT activists get riled up since it allegedly mocked transgender bathroom advocates:

The cartoon in question, which ran in the March 9 edition of The Northern Star, was titled “What would make Trump happy…” and showed three bathroom doors: one male, one female, and one for people with “tiny hands.”

The bathroom for people with tiny hands has a lock on it, the joke presumably being that Trump would prefer to have a private facility where he could wash his “tiny hands” without fear of ridicule.

“Trump probably has his own ideal of the ideal public bathroom,” an accompanying caption speculates.
