Make American Kittens Again

Like it or not, Donald Trump's face is here to stay. From being named Time magazine's person of the year, to daily coverage of his transitional plans, you can't glance at a news source—let alone social media—without seeing Trump's face several times over.

Or can you?



With the help of a Google Chrome extension called "Make America Kittens Again" you can find sweet relief, in the form of kittens.

The extension finds headlines with Trump's name in them and replaces the associated images with pictures of adorable little furballs snuggling, playing, and being generally kittenish.

You have many choices when it comes to customizing your your experience of reading news about Donald Trump. Simple, free Chrome extensions let you replace every mention of the Republican primary frontrunner with something stranger, funnier, or otherwise more palatable.

Here are some of the best options.

1) Make America's Hands Tiny Again
Replaces “Donald Trump” with “Someone With Tiny Hands” because Trump is apparently incredibly sensitive about his tiny fingers.

2) Trump Filter
As the extension's description says, “This Chrome extension will identify parts of a web page likely to contain Donald Trump and erase them from the Internet.”

3) Remove Donald Trump from Facebook
This one works like the Trump Filter extension listed above but is designed specifically for Facebook.

I think sometimes the photo just can't be of Trump, but has to perhaps the name Trump in the picture's file name. Still, it's often nice.

rather than facial recognition, so it can't catch every pic of P-elect Man-Baby, but every little bit helps.

Honestly, I doubt I'll enable any of them for good, for various reasons, but it's nice to have the choice! And I love that people are making these apps.

You shouldn't need to download anything. Just click on the blue Add to Chrome button in the top right hand corner here. Maybe you need to restart the browser. An easy way is to paste chrome://restart into the omnibox and press return.

Other than that, I'm not sure what to suggest. Can't just now, but will try to check into it more more later.
