15-FOOT-TALL INFLATABLE TRUMP RAT KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN

Trump Rat (Castigat Ridendo Mores) Concept Design by Jeffrey Beebe Senate Republicans, backed by President Trump, blew up the filibuster to make way for Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, who was sworn in today. What better revenge than blowing up Trump in turn, in the form of a giant, inflatable rat? An enduring symbol of resistance and ridicule familiar to anyone who’s walked the streets of New York City, the giant inflatable rat has a new face: the president’s. Join BravinLee Programs in thumbing your nose at the Rat-in-Chief by contributing, via Kickstarter, to a new public demonstration of contempt: Trumpy the Rat. Rendering of Jeffrey Beebe’s Trumpy the Rat, 2017 Designed by Jeffrey Beebe, the 15-foot-tall inflatable rat will be placed as close as possible to Trump Tower in Manhattan, a symbol of disgust and ridicule for all to see. The longer-term goal is to form the Public Display of Disaffection Political Action Committee (PDDPAC). PDD-PAC will use the language and power of art to make resistance to the Trump regime more robust and visually engaging. If the project surpasses the fundraising goal of $10,000, they will just make more rats. Join Karin Bravin and John Post Lee in ratting out President Trump by contributing to the project here. Funders will be invited to a launch picnic in New York City. Trumpy the Rat is a labor of love (or, more accurately, disgust), and all funds raised will go towards the production of Trumpy.
