Political satirist Toby Morton is launching a website dedicated entirely to President Donald Trump, which he describes as a 'living obituary' that will chronicle the president's public life while he is still in office. Scheduled to go live on 4 July, TheTrumpObituary.com is the latest in a string of digital activism projects that have placed the former South Park writer at the centre of online political debate.
Morton says the website is intended to serve as a permanent public record rather than a traditional obituary. The project, he argues, documents the controversies, political decisions and public legacy of one of the most consequential figures in modern American politics through the lens of satire.
