You can drown out more than just Haman this Purim.

“The Donald Noisemaker,” a free app available in the iTunes store, allows users to shake away their distaste for President Trump during the holiday. Wave your phone up and down and you’ll get sound bytes of Trump saying the words “wrong,” “oy-ya-ye,” and “boo” over and over again. Oh yeah, and as an added bonus, a hamantashen will appear over his mouth as it goes.

There’s also an option for a regular grogger noise if that’s more up your alley.

“Make a statement while you make a racket,” Rachel Brodie, co-founder of “The Donald Noisemaker,” wrote as an introduction to the app. “…And keep shaking until you can’t tell the difference between Mordechai and Melania.”

Brodie added that the noisemaker isn’t just for Purim, and can be whipped out anytime the user is feeling frustrated over the current administration.

“Express your feelings while you’re listening to the latest news or mulling over the state of the union,” she wrote.

Apologies in advance to the neighbors of all anti-Trumpers.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
