Edel Rodriguez came to the United States from Cuba as a political refugee in 1980. Like many immigrants, he was angered by President Trump's executive order temporarily banning entry to the United States for travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries and refugees from around the world.

...........................

Unlike most immigrants, however, Rodriguez channeled his anger into a piece of art that is now on the cover of one of the world's leading magazines.

The German news magazine Der Spiegel on Friday unveiled its latest issue, bearing Rodriguez's striking work. In the illustration, Trump wields a bloody knife with which he has beheaded the Statue of Liberty. His orange face is featureless, except for a hollering mouth. Two words appear beside him: America First.

“It's a beheading of democracy, a beheading of a sacred symbol,” Rodriguez said, noting that the Statue of Liberty represents the United States' history of welcoming immigrants. “And clearly, lately, what's associated with beheadings is ISIS, so there's a comparison” between the Islamic State and Trump. “Both sides are extremists, so I'm just making a comparison between them.”.............................

1. The good news is that they're characterizing it as Trump's act, not America's.

2. As it should be!

3. Perfect!

Here's your terrorist threat, America.

4. So THAT'S what Trump meant by "America First"!

It will take SO long to rebuild our dear land just to where it was when he took over.
