Trumpelthinskin

Once upon a time there was a fairy tale character named Rumpelstiltskin. He was a short-tempered dealmaker who, when one of his deals went bad, went into such a rage that he stamped his right foot so deep into the ground that his whole leg went in. Then, in a furious effort to free himself, he tugged at his left leg so hard that he tore his body apart and destroyed himself. The real life dealmaker we call Trumpelthinskin has a similarly short fuse, but as President of the United States his fits and frenzies would have the potential to destroy us all.
Despite his ludicrous declaration that “I don’t have thin skin, I have very strong and thick skin,” Donald Trump’s paper-thin epidermis is his greatest weakness. To this self-imagined Superman, criticism is Kryptonite. Paul Slansky, having famously savaged Ronald Reagan in his New York Times best seller "The Clothes Have No Emperor," is launching on Labor Day a website whose raison d'etre is to saturate the political atmosphere with criticism and ridicule of the Immaturian Candidate.
Trumpelthinskin's mission is to be the ultimate repository of damaging information about – and scathing satire of – the most absurd, the most odious, the most psychopathic man ever to seek the Presidency. We are compiling the definitive record of exactly how Donald Trump – one of the very worst people in the nation’s history, a tantrum-throwing seven-year-old in the bloated body of a seventy-year-old – rose to this exalted level of potential power. And we need your help.
Building, maintaining and securing the site, filling it for months with a steady stream of material, and disseminating that material as widely as possible across social and mainstream media costs money. Please donate as generously as you can to as urgent a cause as we've yet seen – preventing the election of a madman as America's 45th President. We are relying on your commitment to Trump's defeat to inspire you to donate generously to help fund the various expenses attached to a research-and-destroy effort of this magnitude.
As former Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer put it, “You have to have people imagine Trump behind the desk in the Oval Office, and have them be scared.” The message of Trumpelthinskin is “Imagine President Trump.” The fear should quickly follow.
We all know someone – a co-worker, a friend, or, saddest of all, a family member – who is committed to voting for Donald Trump. And we all know that for many of those people, nothing this tantrum-throwing seven-year-old in the bloated body of a seventy-year-old has ever said or done, or will say or do, no matter how egregious, will change their minds. Still, we believe that as many as a quarter of his supporters may be susceptible to reason, and that, presented with the right fact, the right quote, or the right image, they might pull themselves back from the abyss.
We'll need your help in disseminating our posts as widely as possible, in the hope of convincing the convincible to cast the most important vote of their lives against indecency and inhumanity. For us to succeed, to paraphrase the man himself in his deranged rant about the vetting of immigrants, we need to have extreme sharing. We need to have extreme, EXTREME sharing.
Because the point is not just to defeat this Ugliest American. The point is to thrash him so resoundingly that he wakes up on November 9th as the biggest loser ever. The point is to see that, as Thomas L. Friedman wrote in The New York Times, “the message goes out across the land — unambiguously, loud and clear: The likes of you should never come this way again.”
By documenting Donald Trump’s lifelong transition from vulgar buffoon and thuggish huckster into the venom-spewing demagogue and global menace we are currently confronted with, we hope to amass a memory for Americans addicted to amnesia and guarantee that such a thing never happens again. Or at least not for a long while.
Come! Join us!
We thank you, the country thanks you, and the world thanks you.
