It's from a coloring book that raised money for immigrants!

Oakland Designer's Ugly Donald Trump Coloring Book Raises Thousands for Immigrants

Oakland designer Joey Yang released a Donald Trump coloring book this past Tuesday. His modest goal was to share some admittedly ghastly images of the Republican blowhard and maybe raise money for a good cause. But, in less than three days later, his project has really taken off, already bringing in north of $4,000 in sales and donations for a local immigrant-services nonprofit.

Yang says the donations — and also the drawings that people are sharing from his book on Facebook and Instagram — have been "overwhelming."

"I've had a lot of folks reach out personally to share their stories, which has been really heartwarming," he wrote in an email interview with the Express this morning.

Proceeds from the sales of his coloring book go to International Institute of the Bay Area, which provides legal services to immigrants, in addition to assistance with green cards, citizenship applications, visas, and more. Yang, whose parents immigrated to American thirty years ago, says it's been encouraging to get response from people who actually use immigration services.
