As the [presidential campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-town) continue to heat up between the various candidates, there has been many designs and caricature sketches that poke fun at Donald Trump's running -- including this zombified T-shirt design that turns the well-known business mogul into a flesh-eating undead monster. The comical design pokes fun at Trump's nomination for president as well as his recognizable aesthetic.

Illustrator Mitch O'Connell put together these [T-shirt designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection) that capture Trump looking quite terrifying and gruesome with two different cartoon designs. One of the [satirical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughts-prayers-toilet-paper) images showcases Trump in his quintessential blue suit and blonde mop of hair pointing at the viewer while standing in front of a waving American flag. Both Trump's face and hands are a ghoulish decaying blue hue with his flesh missing in places and the muscle showing.
