New York artist Justin Teodoro has felt angry, saddened and disgusted by President Donald Trump’s zero tolerance policy that has left thousands of immigrant children separated from their parents seeking asylum on the U.S.-Mexico border.

When first lady Melania Trump wore a jacket that read “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” on her way to visit an immigrant children’s center on Thursday, Teodoro felt he needed to respond.

“I think seeing what the first lady wore on her visit today totally appalled and shocked me and was just beyond tone deaf,” Teodoro told HuffPost. “I guess I just needed to react in my own small way and draw a response ― not with anger but with hope because I do believe love trumps hate.”

So he reimagined the first lady’s jacket to reflect the public outrage about families being ripped apart at the border. He posted the illustration to Instagram. ..................................

“I wanted to illustrate the Statue of Liberty (a real first lady) wearing what we all feel and holding the hand of that little girl whose image we’ve seen everywhere and taking care of her because that is what she and all these children deserve,” Teodoro told HuffPost.
