CRONYISM
PAGE ONE
The front cover of a pack of fictional trading cards. At the top is a parody of the TOPPS logo that reads “Trump’s.” To the right, where a price would be, is a Bitcoin symbol hovering over the word “Crypto!” Below this is a parody of the Garbage Pail Kids logo, with dripping red letters that read “My Little Cronies.”
In the center of the card is an image of Donald Trump sitting on the ground, small hands thrust forward, with green snakes coiled around him. His long red tie gradually morphs into another snake at his feet.
Below Trump, in red, is the text “The Faces of 2025,” followed by “7 Cronies – 0 Oversight – 1 Chance to stop them!”
PAGE TWO
This is a plain brown card with text that reads:
Great news! With the dawning of a new MAGA regime will come sweeping changes to your rotten, deep-state-infested, totally corrupt government. We’ll purge more than 50,000 useless Federal Employees and replace them with a smaller, more efficient government who are high-status Males, high-value females, and 1000% MAGA, as outlined in astonishing detail in PROJECT 2025.
We’ve prepared this easy guide to help you learn the new names, faces, and responsibilities of these Alphas of the Executive Branch, all of them ready for deployment on Day One! These are… MY LITTLE CRONIES!
PAGE THREE
The front of a trading card labeled “Anti-Vax Max.” A caricature of RFK Jr. grimaces at the reader, flexing his oversized muscles. From his head bursts a green worm wearing a red MAGA hat, and stuck into his right bicep is a syringe labeled “TRT.” He is wearing nothing but a cloth diaper, which is yellow with urine that is dripping out onto the dead bear carcass he’s sitting on.

The front of a trading card labeled “Censor Chip.” A goggle-wearing man wields a knife in one hand, and his other hand has been transformed into a blowtorch, which is connected by a tube to a backpack presumably full of lighter fluid. He is wearing a t-shirt with “NPR” written inside a gun sight, and he has one foot propped up on the bleeding corpse of Sesame Street’s Big Bird. In front of him is a pile of burning books labeled “Black History,” LGBTQ+ Rights,” “D.E.I.,” “Woke,” and “Civil Rights.” Behind him, in a garbage can, are signs labeled “Black Lives Matter” and “Sesame St.”

PAGE SEVEN
The front of a trading card labeled “Trans-Exclusion Susan.” A white, blonde, hyper-feminine woman stands in front of a pair of bathrooms with traditional “male” and “female” images labeling them. She is wearing a blue warm-up jacket and pants like a soccer coach and holds a soccer ball with Trump’s face on it in her manicured left hand. (Trump’s hair looks like the Nike swoosh.) She has a Jesus fish on the front of her jacket, cross earrings hanging from her ears, and high heels, and her face is heavily made up. She is blowing a metal whistle and holding up her right hand like a warning. In front of the “female” bathroom are three identical blonde girls in blue school uniforms emblazoned with Jesus fish; in fron the the “male” bathroom are three identical blond boys in male versions of the same uniform.

PAGE NINE
The front of a trading card labeled “Handmaid’s Taylor.” A white woman wearing the red robes and white bonnet of a Handmaid from The Handmaid’s Tale grins menacingly as she turns the crank of a machine labeled “‘Health’ Clinic.” Pregnant women of various races march toward the machine and come out the other side in the same Handmaid costume, holding swaddled babies in their arms.
Around Handmaid Taylor are three red circles with lines through them, indicating a prohibition. They contain a prescription bottle labeled “Plan B,” the word “IVF,” and a circular case of birth control pills. A fourth red circle is crossed with prison bars, behind which stands a despairing doctor.
Beneath the whole scene, sperm swim past, labeled with the phrase “Every sperm is sacred.”

The front of a trading card labeled “Concentration Cam.” A caricature of a balding white man with an enormous, sweating head—implicitly Stephen Miller—grins and presses the tips of his fingers together with fiendish glee. He is standing in front of the barbed wire front gates of a concentration camp—the gates say “Arbeit MAGA Frei.” Dozens of crying children in rags are crowded into the camp, staring at the reader; behind them, armed guards are perched on watchtowers. Directly behind Concentration Cam, outside the gates but directly in front of the crying kids who are clinging to them, is an overflowing bathtub labeled “Children’s Tears.”

The front of a trading card labeled “Jill Baby Jill.” A white woman with a long blonde ponytail is dressed in a full black dominatrix outfit, only her face, shoulders, and cleavage exposed. She is grinning hugely, and on her chest are the words “Big Oil,” with the “O” formed by a black ring hanging from her collar. From the hips down she is submerged in a sea of black oil, and oil is also dripping from her shoulders and over her outstretched hands. Dead animals—a fish, duck, and beaver—float on the oil.
