Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is selling a limited edition of a childrens book that depicts President Donald Trump as a cartoon bunny named Thump. The book promotes white nationalist imagery and makes light of the video of Trump admitting to sexually assaulting women and the national outrage that followed.
The book, called "Thump: The First Bundred Days," was written by a group of co-authors including Brett R. Smith, the creative director of the Steve Bannon-backed "Clinton Cash: A Graphic Novel," and Timothy Lim, who has worked with Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Hasbro. The book is published by Post Hill Press, whose books are distributed by Simon and Schuster.
The online store of Jones conspiracy theory outlet Infowars is selling the book with an exclusive poster showing Jones and Thump and describes the product as the perfect book for teaching your kids or reading through it for yourself!
Jones hosted Smith for a promotional interview on January 3, and flipped through the book, revealing some of its disturbing content.
On one page that Jones showed, the text read, Thump found friends in strange places and in all shapes and sizes. Such as the frogs that croaked KEK! They were full of surprises!

First, this is an obvious ripoff of Limbaugh doing children's books.
Secondly, this is disturbing and sad. Openly promoting Nazis (sorry I'm not breaking them into groups) to children. Someone who worked for Marvel and Hasbro is involved? Great.
Damn that Salon site/link is jumpy as hell.
