"Point the Finger" is a 1989 comic book story written and illustrated by American cartoonist Robert Crumb for Last Gasp. The story appeared in the third of the four issue series of his solo title Hup. In the story, Crumb goes after then real estate businessman Donald Trump and imagines having an argument with him. Two possible endings are shown to the reader. In one, Crumb is arrested by the police for having wasted Trump's time; in the second ending, two women give Trump a swirlie in the toilet. Critics described the story as both sexist and prescient. The comic received additional attention in 2016, when Trump was elected president of the United States.
