Why is his hand bleeding?
Xi looks like he's trying to not burst into hysterics.
Because he has blood on his hands from his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that resulted in American soldiers getting pointlessly killed. It also harkens back to his habit of clutching his hands into tight fists, like when he infamously did the Cornholio pose on live TV.
I'm so used to political cartoons bludgeoning me over the head with labels that I wasn't expecting a visual metaphor like that.
Zyklon Ben is the worst for this.
Oh, I assumed he had stigmata or something. It's a fine metaphor, but it doesn't translate well to a purely visual medium.
I think it's a reference to that time when he was giving some kind of a speech and just froze in place for like 30 seconds while clenching his fists together really hard. Motherfucker looked like he was flying a jetpack. It's supposed to show he's clenching them so hard his nails dug into his palms.
He's got blood on his hands from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal?
I was wondering that too. The first place my mind went is very disgusting but there's no women in this cartoon so that idea is probably wrong.
Maybe he personally performed the transition surgery.
