But why a see-saw? That implies some sort of balance that got shifted right? The world was in balance before Trump switched sides? Like if Putin and Xi and Kim Jong Un were gone then the balance would again be off?
The more you think about it the less it works. A see-saw is collaborative, if one side just stops cooperating the see-saw stops. And when a see-saw is in motion each side goes up and down opposite the other, which could be interpreted as Amerika being "on top" and then Russia/China/DPRK being "on top", which I presume the author wouldn't want (just a Trump-less amerika being "on top"). And if on side is supposed to always be up, that requires the other side to keep it down: cooperation.
It just doesn't fucking work.

You're right! There's layers to this nonsense
I think the author doesn't know how see saws work and thinks both sides are supposed to be balanced like scales or something, but they used a set of scales in their comic depicting this same idea last week so they have to do something new.
