To us, your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving is many things: President of The Trump Organization, successful real estate developer, former host of The Apprentice and, of course, GOP candidate in the 2016 presidential election. Even more recently, some have embraced him as our drunk uncle at Thanksgiving.

Developer Tim Bornholdt has taken that persona to a new level, creating a Google Chrome extension that changes "Donald Trump" to "your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving." With the extension, news stories are no longer about Trump, but your dear old drunk uncle.

Bornholdt hasn't pushed his extension to the Chrome Web Store yet (update: It's available!), but we downloaded and side-loaded the extension to try it out for ourselves. Check out what it looks like below. Seems like your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving has been making headlines quite a bit these days.

If you can't wait for the extension to arrive officially, you can side-load it yourself by enabling Developer Mode in you settings. Full instructions are here.
