de Adder went on to say that this was him being nice:

I tried less polite Trump and felt "do you mind if I play through" to be more delusional and dismissive of reality. It was a cartoon choice. Of course he'd be more rude in real life.

Apparently some of his buyers were not impressed, and they decided to cut him loose two days later.

The highs and lows of cartooning. Today I was just let go from all newspapers in New Brunswick. #editorialcartooning #nbpoli #editorialcartooning

This isn’t the first time de Adder has put out controversial work. Below is a recent and extremely sexist portrayal of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

de Adder’s radical leftist celebrity friends rushed to his defense.

de Adder offers a thread to explain his thesis on why he was fired.

Does it matter if I was fired over one Donald Trump cartoon when every Donald Trump cartoon I submitted in the past year was axed?

— Michael de Adder (@deAdder) July 1, 2019

It got to the point where I didn't submit any Donald Trump cartoons for fear that I might be fired.

— Michael de Adder (@deAdder) July 1, 2019

And Donald Trump doesn't even matter. It's a distraction from the big picture.

— Michael de Adder (@deAdder) July 1, 2019

The Premier of New Brunswick Blaine Higgs is a former Irving Oil executive and any cartoon I drew that was slightly critical of him was systematically axed. You want to know why I was let go? I wanted to do my job as an editorial cartoonist, and they wanted me to do their job.

He was fired by big oil?

For their part, Brunswick News Inc agrees that it wasn’t the Trump cartoon that led to his firing.

Brunswick News Inc. said in a statement on Sunday it is “entirely incorrect” to suggest the company canceled its freelance contract with de Adder over the cartoon.

“This is a false narrative which has emerged carelessly and recklessly on social media,” the company said. “In fact, BNI was not even offered this cartoon by Mr. de Adder. The decision to bring back reader favourite Greg Perry was made long before this cartoon, and negotiations had been ongoing for weeks.”

Greg Perry’s work is also very anti-Trump:
