Temer wore Melania Trump's coat.

An article from The Intercept states that while the world repudiated the "zero tolerance policy against illegal immigration" implemented by the US government under Donald Trump, the Michel Temer government chose silence; "It's as if he wore the same coat as Melania Trump, used during a visit to children separated from their parents, with the words 'I really don't care. Do you?'"

247 - "Even knowing the American president's history, no one failed to be shocked by the implementation of a zero-tolerance policy against illegal immigration," writes João Filho in The Intercept. "In six weeks, at least 2.300 babies and children were separated from their parents and housed in cages. Of these, 49 are Brazilian. This blatant violation of the human rights of Brazilians abroad was not enough to make Michel Temer make any statement. Even the Pope repudiated the Trump administration's action, but the Brazilian president simply ignored the issue. It's as if he were wearing the same coat as Melania Trump, worn during a visit to the children separated from their parents, with the words 'I really don't care. Do you?'"
