Todd Blanche’s words — “I love you, sir” — became one of the most human moments in today’s political landscape. I chose to memorialize it in this political cartoon because behind law, justice, and structure, there is always loyalty, conviction, and belief. As someone who supports President Donald Trump, I saw that moment as deeply human and worth capturing. This piece is my artistic tribute to that expression of loyalty and the symbolism behind it.
