This cartoon from Tom Janssen at Cagle.com shows President Trump's reelection chances plummeting as the number of Covid-19 cases continue to rise. 
This Guy Parsons cartoon portrays Trump as the Rodney Dangerfield of American politics, facing many empty seats in rabidly racist Tulsa, Okla., when he resumed holding campaign rallies.
"And then, like a miracle, it goes away!" Trump is quoted as saying of the coronavirus in this sendup by Steve Sack, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis Minn.
Two amazing "medical facts" explored in this cartoon by Monte Wolverton are 1) people who take a Covid-19 test are hypochondriacs and 2) social distancing and face masks cause herpes.
Tombstone makers are catering to victims of Covid-19 who refused to wear face mask, says cartoonist David Fitzsimmons of the Arizona Daily Star and Tuscon.com. "He fought to breathe free or die," one tombstone says (upper left).
U.S. Attorney General William Barr has shown a propensity to punish those investigating Trump, so cartoonist Steve Sack portrays the "Barr Code" as reading "Corrupt."
Freelance cartoonist Bob Englehart of PoliticalCartoons.com suggests statues of front-line pandemic heroes replace those that are being torn down because they represent racism.
Flying without a parachute is the wickedly satiric result of  passengers refusing to wear face masks on a commercial airliner, cartoonist Dave Granlund says.
You've heard of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the fictional forensic psychiatrist turned serial killer. So, cartoonist Kevin Siers of PoliticalCartoons.com slams justice ill-served by portraying Attorney General William Barr as Hannibarr Lecter, who says, "Justice is served with some fava beans and a nice chianti."
Award-winning cartoonist Jimmy Margulies lampoons Trump's touting of miracle cures for Covid-19, focusing on Roundup, the week killer linked to cancer and multimillion dollar settlements in numerous lawsuits. Margulies was the political cartoonist at The Record of Woodland Park for many years.
Trump is the embodiment of the coronavirus in this cartoon from J.D. Crowe. "The tests are making me look bad," he says while wearing a hat with the message, "America first in Covid Deaths."
In this cartoon by Rick McKee, the Grim Reaper tells a man complaining it's too hot to wear a mask: "It's not the heat, it's the stupidity." 
As the July Fourth weekend approaches, cartoonist Dave Granlund believes Americans could use a refresher course on the Declaration of Independence.
Croatian cartoonist Petar Pismestrovic shows Trump as a gunfighter dealing with two enemies -- the coronavirus and the election.
Steve Nease at PoliticalCartoons.com portrays Trump fanning the flames of racism by finding another way to blame the Covid-19 pandemic on China.
