1. I don't get it. What's the analogy?

2. Movie 'Casablanca'

When Bogart says 'But we'll always have Paris' at the end.

Trump as Bogart??!? NO WAY!!!!

[Demit]

4. I know it's Casablanca. What's the analogy to Trump?

5. It's in reference to Trump's speech about Paris Accord...

Here's just one of many sources. This one has the mayor of Pittsburgh replying they're with Paris...

"In his speech announcing that the US would be withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, President Trump framed the action as an act of solidarity with the Rust Belt voters who helped deliver him the presidency. "I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris," he said."

7. I know it's referring to his speech! But what's the joke supposed to be?

Who is he telling "We'll always have Pittsburgh" to? In the movie, Rick had had an affair with Ilsa and is sending her off to safety as a noble gesture. I GET that. In this cartoon, who is Ilsa supposed to be representing?

8. Oh... okay sorry... I think it's more

A mocking of Trump's words than a direct comparison to Rick. I don't think Trump has a truly noble bone in his body do you?

[Demit]

9. That's one of the reasons this toon makes no sense, yes.

I thought maybe I was missing something & someone could point it out. But this cartoon has no point. Thanks anyway.

10. I think sometimes the only point is to mock someone...

If there's more than that to this I'm missing it too.

3. Casablanca

6. No Trump, you won't. Pittsburgh...

voted 80% for Hillary & it's mayor says they're with Paris.
