This is a political cartoon from *Judge* magazine titled "Haunted!" depicting three ghostly figures visible through the White House's classical columns. The cartoon is satirizing the White House as inhabited by unwanted presences or failed policies. Without dating information, the specific identities of these "ghosts" are unclear, but the cartoon's satirical point is that the White House is metaphorically "haunted" by past administrations, controversial decisions, or political failures that continue to influence current governance. The use of spectral imagery suggests these issues persist as troubling legacies. The formal architectural setting—the iconic columns and portico—contrasts sharply with the supernatural chaos within, emphasizing the discord between the building's dignified appearance and the turmoil it represents.
