The Internet just became tolerable again - no more 'Trump'

Back in 2016, John Oliver's team released an extension that replaced "Trump" with "Drumpf". I just checked and there is another one out there that allows you to convert Trump to whatever you want as often as you want. I went with The Grifter and have been giggling all afternoon.

Here is a sample of how it renders:

TikTok said Sunday it was restoring service to users in the United States after the popular video-sharing platform went dark in response to a federal ban that President-elect Donald The Grifter said he would try to pause by executive order on his first day in office.

The Grifter said he planned to issue the order to give TikTok’s China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer before the popular video-sharing platform is subject to a permanent U.S.ban.




Google has it as Replace Trump.

This is making me so happy.

Then the next Democrat to get the presidency can just issue executive orders to ignore laws all they want.

This is just an extension. By that logic you should extend it forever based on saying, "well, they might sell in that time."

A sale would need to be in motion for that to apply.
