However, Brunswick News responded to De Eder's claims in a statement on Sunday that it was "totally wrong to suggest that it had canceled a free contract with him because of a cartoon about Donald Trump."
The company said in a statement: "This is a wrong story spread rashly through social media," asserting that Michael De Adar never presented her cartoons of Trump before publishing, and that it has already decided to "return" another cartoonist to work for her, indicated that it is popular Among its readers.

"All the Brunswick newspapers avoid Trump as a subject for their cartoons," said Wes Terrell, president of the Association of Canadian Cartoonists. "De Odier has been painting it regularly over the past two years, like any cartoonist," according to CNN.
It is noteworthy that the newspaper "New York Times" in April decided to remove the cartoons of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, of the international number, because of its racial content.
