The Russian pin will be inserted when his collusion with Russia is revealed, simultaneously deflating both the giant rat and his presidency.

There is zero chance the Secret Service / NYPD would allow this to be placed outside the Trump Tower.

It’s a nice idea, but I think the money and effort would be better focused elsewhere.

Perfect for this most New York of right-wing plutocrat demagogues. Scabby the Rat was one of the many unique little touches that made my years in NYC so memorable, although at the time I just called him “Ya Rat Bastid!”

$5 pledged, fingers crossed

Perhaps a projected image would do. After all it’s (mostly) night when the rats come out.

Show me the permits to keep it permanently outside Rump tower and I will contribute.

No sympathies for Trump here, but likening political opponents to rats and other vermin is a slippery path.

Depicting Trump as a rat. I don’t know. Couldn’t that be interpreted as animal cruelty?
