In June 2017, an image of aÂ Mad magazine cartoon featuring Donald Trump was circulated on social media along with the claim that it appeared in a 1992 issue of the humor magazine: < My son found this in a Mad Magazine from 1992 that we had kicking around. @MADmagazine pic.twitter.com/C4O4f3PxXZ â€” Allison F.â­ï¸ (@ablington) June 17, 2017 > This is a real comic that was published by Mad Magazine in 1992. Some were skeptical thatÂ MadÂ had really lampooned President Trump in the 1990s, but itâ€™s not really all that surprising. Although Trump has only been president for a five months as of this writing, he has been a public figure for muchÂ of his life. In fact, shortly after Trump became president,Â MadÂ released a book of previously published comics â€œchronicling his rise from obnoxious businessman to really obnoxious reality show host to uber obnoxious â€œCommander-in-Tweet.â€ Cartoonist Garry Trudeau put out a similar book chronicling 30 years of Trumpâ€™s appearances inÂ DoonesburyÂ cartoons. Sam Viviano and Mike Snider created the 1992 Trump cartoon for Mad, whichÂ was published on page 26 of issue #315. The Trump cartoon only made up a small portion of the â€œWhen Should We Believeâ€¦?â€ page, which featured various politicians, musicians, reporters, and other public figures giving contradictory statements.Â Here is how the comic was introduced in 1992: < Sometimes people lie. Sometimes people tell the truth. But sometimes, people lie and tell the truth on the same subject at different times! (Like, for example, BEFORE and AFTER an election!) So, the question we out to be asking about these people is not the usual â€œWhy should we believe,â€ but ratherâ€¦. WHEN SHOULD WE BELIEVEâ€¦?Â > The Trump cartoon appears in the bottom-left corner of the full version of the comic:
