Iranians have organized a “Trumpism” cartoon contest in which hundreds of participants have been invited to submit artwork mocking the U.S. leader.
The same organizers held a Holocaust cartoon contest last year, which they said was meant to highlight Western double standards on free speech and not to cast doubt on the Nazi genocide.
The logo for the Trump contest is based on the Nazi emblem, with a diagonal “T” in a white circle against a red background. One cartoon shows President Donald Trump painting a Hitler-like mustache on the face of the Statue of Liberty.
The exhibition, which opened Monday, includes the works of some 1,600 Iranian and foreign participants. The winner of the top prize will get $1,500.

This contest is straight out of good old Soviet play book. So outdated!
double standard?
remember when some one in USA had Mohammud cartoon contest and several people were killed?
I have my own ideas about the cartoon for him but I’m not sure who I hate more, Iran or Chump, so I can’t safely enter the contest.
I hope that the winning cartoon is published worldwide.
I would like to see what other people besides me think of him.
CircleSteve, in any self-respecting dictatorship like Iran you would be locked up for posting such comment about your head of the state! Under Hillary you would probably be put on special list for Feds to look into your dealings. Appreciate your freedom under Trump!
