Gillray was a british political cartoonist, basically the father of the art, who created the famous cartoon called "Fashionable Contrasts". It was ridiculing how the media of his present day was being ridiculously adoring of the duchess and fawning over her, particularly idolizing her petite frame and tiny feet, her most well known feature. Hence his cartoon wasn't simply mocking her small feet, but was directed at how she was being represented in the media, drawing that distinct british strain of irreverence by showing her small elegant feet getting rammed by the duke.
Trump is quite the opposite ridiculed as having small hands and being crucified by the media, so the context of the historical parallel is quite ironic, something thats both lost on you and the guy at the guardian who drew it.
i prefer to stand on the first degree like most people did
