TRUMP TUBES IN POSTWAR FRANCE

 I saw this 1950 advert in a French magazine and thought the caricature figure looked a little familiar, could it be a younger Donald Trump in a Father Christmas outfit I wondered - could this be a Trump Tube advert - zut alors ma petite choux-fleur?

The term "Trump Tubes" can also refer to tubal ligation, a sterilisation procedure colloquially known as "getting your tubes tied,"  This definition is partnered by a 2025 Guardian article which uses this phrase in the context of women seeking sterilisation due to concerns over reproductive rights in a post-Roe v. Wade era under a potential Trump administration.  The phrase combines the common name for the procedure with the name of the president, Donald Trump, to highlight this specific social and political topic.
