Uncle Sam gets a reassuring view of what the new tariff will do to him
Uncle Sam stands before two mirrors that distort the reflected image. One mirror is labeled “Seeing is Believing – the Republican Minority” and shows Uncle Sam as a tall, thin, gaunt figure. The other mirror is labeled “Seeing is Believing – the Democratic Majority” and shows Uncle Sam as a happily rotund figure. A man labeled “Underwood” is directing the viewer’s attention toward the Democratic image and a man labeled “Mann” is directing the viewer’s attention toward the Republican image.
