Photos: Man wins best art in a cartoon contest organised to mock President Trump

Iranian cartoonist, Hadi Asadi, has won the best
art in a cartoon competition organized to mock US
President Donald Trump.
Hundreds of cartoonists from around the world
were said to have taken part in the exhibition of
the Islamic Republic's 2017 International
Trumpism cartoon and caricature contest,  which
held in the capital Tehran on July 3, 2017, but it
was Asadi whose cartoon was chosen from
among 1,600 entries from 75 countries.
His winning image, shows the US president
wearing a jacket of dollar bills and with burning
yellow hair.
Speaking to the Associated Press after his victory,
he said:
“I wanted to show Trump while trampling
symbols of culture,” Asadi, who spent two
weeks working on the cartoon, said.
He added that the focus of his piece was on
Trump’s “money-mindedness and war monger
nature.”
Two U.S. contestants were awarded for their
entries. Robert Jones Clayton, again, compared
Trump to Hitler while another cartoon by Ed Wexler
showed the president being pursued by a snowball
with a red hammer and sickle emblem on it—a
reference to an ongoing investigation into Trump
staff and their connections to the Kremlin.
Hadi Asadi was given a trophy and an award with
a cash prize of   $1,500.
