I appreciate the satire here, but the real Captain America would have no more tolerance for Trump than Hitler. At least the cartoonist defined the character as "the new Captain America," just as Trump and his dolts have tried to claim the American flag as their own. I get it, but just hate to see the character twisted in this way...
