I wonder if it's a thing where political cartoonists are only used to drawing black people as exaggerated stereotypes, so any attempt at positive representation defaults to generic white person features

This is 100% with white artists in general.

Is it skin lightening specifically or is that just the consequence of turning up contrast to cover blemishes and wrinkles?

So this is seriously short-sighted on the part of the people lying to Trump. Eventually this is going to cause a megaton level meltdown. When Trump learns the truth he is going to react very powerfully- this meltdown will exceed the post-Charlottesville meltdown.

Personally I am also concerned about what happens if Trump actually does fire Mueller- the left will organize national protests that will be at least on the scale of the Women's March and the Trumpstaffel are going to interpret outrage over Mueller's firing as a violent Antifa uprising/the start of a Civil War. They whipped themselves into a frenzy over the supposed Antifa uprising on November 4th, and that was based on little more than a tiny Marxist cult hosting a couple of protests attended by no one. If Mueller is fired the public outrage and demonstrations will be massive and propagandists like Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh will very easily be able to spin the narrative that a no-poo poo violent Socialist/Communist/Satanic is happening. The possibility of violence directed at anything associated with under this scenario "The Left" would be quite extreme.

Haven’t you predicted massive violence any moment now for at least a year?

It depends on the filter. Generally turning the contrast up but it's nagl and unfortunately when you're lightskinned can lead to people accusing you of skin bleaching and all kind of bullshit.

Remember how years ago Trump kept reminding people how many different time Comey assured him he wasn't part of the investigation?

For some reason this kind of stuff matters to him. Maybe because it's something tangible that he can brag about. Like there's a non-zero percent chance any 'letter of exoneration' gets proudly displayed in the lobby at Trump Tower.

I'd really like to see studies done on who is (and isn't) voting in Republican primaries. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I'd imagine that Trump is causing more normal Republicans to not vote in primaries which results in only a certain type of republican choosing the candidate.

What if Franken runs for his seat back and MN elects him?

So a state-level version of this happened in VA a little while ago. Joe Morrissey had an affair with his 17-year-old secretary, got her pregnant, went to jail for it, and won re-election from jail. He spent his days in Richmond, and his nights in jail. Eventually the state GOP kicked him out of the party, and dude was like “what? I married the secretary! It’s cool now! She’s legal!” He ran as an independent and lost.

As a white artist, this is absolutely true. The fact of the matter is that artists below a certain bracket of skill (in other words most artists) will always tend to draw and design subconsciously what they have been observing their whole lives, which most often means their own face and their family's faces etc. In other words, artists will default to drawing any person through a lens made of their own image. Girls will draw feminine boys and boys will draw butch girls. A Japanese artist once drew me as part of a "draw me/draw you" thread and it was Asian me. A lot of artists I know will draw women who look similar to their wives or daughters. Etc.

It's something that as an artist you absolutely have to be aware of and hopefully you've been taught observational drawing so you can begin to walk back your biological biases and rebuild your visual vocabulary based on actual study and analytical observations of a wide range of subjects, but such introspection and self awareness exists not in the realm of 2-bit political cartoonists, or indeed most casual artists.
