A picture of two pigs side by side, one Donald Trump in an image from 2009 and the other a pig in 2019, implying they are the same.

Obligatory:
Xkcd comic parodying this song My Favorite Things. Picture a stick figure surrounded by kettles and a kitten in 4 frames, 1 for each line of the verse. The last shows a frustrated fist-shaking pose. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles leave...flakes on my mittens!? Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer! I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nasir!
