Thank you for your interest in our parody, Donald the Pig Thought He Was a King. Since most of you are here to read the book, here it is without further delay:
This project was created to accomplish two things: 1) to raise money to materially fight authoritarianism in the U.S.; and 2) to spread a mocking image of the “tyrant aspirant” currently in our White House. Creating such an image in the popular view combats exactly what strongmen need: to be perceived as…well, strong.
To raise money, we are offering a $5 definitive version of our book, Donald the Pig Thought He Was a King. It may be found on our “Merch” page, or by clicking here. If you like our book and understand the seriousness of the threat Trump is to our country, then we need you to contribute. The true purpose of ‘Donald the Pig’ is to provide an avenue where people “who get it” can 1) laugh at the ridiculous nature of our current dictator wannabe and 2) pool our resources so that we can really do something significant: all from a silly little children’s book. If 1 million people contribute, that will really make a difference in the courts, in the media, and in general society. This is an all-important fight that we are now in–this little book isn’t going to be a cure-all, but it is one small thing that you can do that will make a big difference.
The following form is provided for those who would like a personal copy sent to their email. Your email will not be shared with any 3rd party, ever. We will send you no more than 2 emails per year while Trump is in office. In the first year, for example, one email will be sent to notify you once we have physical items to offer (like t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.); the 2nd email will be sent once we are ready to choose an expert to spend our pooled resources. So the purpose of our emails is solely for this project alone. We will not sell/share you email with anyone for any reason.
The term ‘Donald the Pig’ triggers many Junk and SPAM blockers. Please check your Junk and SPAM folders if your PDF doesn’t arrive in your inbox. If that happens to you, be sure to flag your system so we are considered “not junk”.
When we conceived of this project, we knew that we wanted ‘Donald the Pig’ imagery on t-shirts, baseball caps, coffee mugs, and floating pens–basically, we want to put AI’s Trump pig face on simple items that would be generally seen. We hope that inspires others to truly make it ubiquitous. We would love them on student backpacks/Trapper Keepers (as they used to be called), shoes, etc. We freely give rights to use the imagery inspired by our book, provided that you contribute at least 25% of the profits you make to fight authoritarianism in the U.S. We are not trying to acquire revenue from our licensing rights, we only want the cause of fighting authoritarianism to grow, as well as the mocking imagery of our Criminal-In-Chief.
If enough people spread the imagery, this will be AI’s first artistic expression in society. If that concept offends you as an artist, please read our ‘Message to Artists in our ‘Action’ page.
It was (and is) also important, to us, to provide a physical copy of the book for those who would like a coffee table book and for those who would read it to their children (we’ve received a comment from a reader that requested a physical book for that purpose). The book is primarily intended to be an adult coffee table book, but it was intentionally written in such a manner that allows it to be read to young children.
GoFundMe funds will be used for actual expenses to produce the physical book and the items listed (inspired by the book)–no money from that effort will ever be used for any kind of salary whatsoever. Our GoFundMe page’s link is provided below for those who are interested.
