Michael de Adder, a Canadian cartoonist has lost his job just two days after his illustration of President Donald Trump playing golf over the bodies of two drowned migrants went viral on social media.

Michael de Adder said on Twitter that he had been let go by a publishing company in New Brunswick, Canada. His illustration depicted President Trump asking the two dead migrants, "Do you mind if I play through?"

The cartoon refers to the image of Oscar Alberto Martínez and his 23-month-old daughter, Angie Valeria, lying face down in water surrounded by reeds. The two drowned while attempting to cross the Rio Grande River to get into the United States.

"The highs and lows of cartooning. Today I was just let go from all newspapers in New Brunswick," De Adder tweeted. He later clarified that he had technically been under contract to work for Brunswick News Inc., and wasn't an employee who could be fired.

Brunswick News Inc. responded in a statement on Sunday that "it is entirely incorrect to suggest" that it canceled a freelance contract with de Adder over the Trump cartoon. "This is a false narrative which has emerged carelessly and recklessly on social media," the publishing company wrote.

De Adder tweeted that he would bounce back from losing the job and that he just had to "recoup a percentage of my weekly income.

Wes Tyrell, President of the Association of Canadian Cartoonists, a professional group for artists, claimed that the Brunswick newspapers avoided Trump as a subject of its cartoons and de Adder "was doing them with regularity for the last couple of years, like any cartoonist."

Very insensitive of the cartoonist but people need to stop desperately trying to migrate illegally into other countries through dangerous means. This man not only wasted his life, he wasted that of his daughter's.

What's strange is that haters of the POTUS try as much as possible to blame him for illegal immigrants' self-inflicted misfortunes.

Their remains

Nothing can be more saddening.

A lot of people dont like his rigid immigration polices but heck! He's the president, his country his rules. He has already made his stance on immigration especially from third world countries pretty clear. People need to respect that and stay in their countries or migrate legally to countries with less strict rules.

Serves him right then!

Oh no

Kinda insensitive.

It's not every issue you can just bring up just in the name of being controversial

Through RUGA land

BUHARI is Terrorist..

Silence is golden at times

Okay

He is not to be blamed for the recent deaths but this is what Trump CAN say. He won't even use 'Do you mind'

Trump should serve the Kashoogi treatment

His Saudi Arabian allied will give him that squad for free

He can always work for that French publication.
I can’t remember the name now because Google is fucking up.

My thoughts as well.

If You Openly Condemn Trump for his Immigration Policies keeping Mexicans Out, and You also Dont want Fulani to own RUGA settlement in your states then you are a hypocrite.

America is a Country which is heavily indebted, and all debt was exhausted in building their infrastructures. in hope to pay back their ever rising national debt they rely solely on taxes(from working citizen) and foreign trades(sales in arms and technology),. Illegal immigrants on the other hand come in to take their jobs without paying taxes, and leaving Citizens unemployed without means of paying taxes thereby increasing their national debt

This is sad. Anyone that doesn't have a kid won't understand, I wonder the kinda state the mother will be now, seeing your kid and husband like this!

Let Canada open its borders to migrates then.
