Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is leading the GOP pack and will be making his presidential debate debut tonight. To celebrate, or prevent a full-blown emotional catastrophe, depending on how you feel every time you see the The Donald’s name, the folks at Fusion have created the Trumpweb.

The Trumpweb is a Chrome browser app that, upon finding the phrase “Donald Trump” or “Mr. Trump,” inserts an all-too-real Trumpism. And it’s not just a joke. By taking, let’s say, a recent New York Times piece about Trump’s post-policy campaign and providing the context of buffoonery, the app inserts a meaningful commentary that a neutral journalist cannot. It would be bad form to call Mr. Trump a racist or a misogynist, but letting his words speak for themselves is a nice compromise and an efficient way to drive that point home.

Download the Chrome extension here and brace yourself for the post-debate news flood. Consider this your life raft.
