Made in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, this print shows Donald Trump as a destructive tornado tearing the American constitution in half and terrorizing the environment. The phrase "It can happen here" floats at the top, referencing writer Sinclair Lewis's 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here" which imagines the rise of a fascist leader in the U.S. modeled after Adolf Hitler, then rising in power in Nazi Germany.
