Following President Trump's recent executive orders, you may want to vent your frustration by investing in this countdown calendar. Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the Out-of-Office Calendar helps you count down the days until Donald J. Trump is no longer in the Oval Office. The OOO Calendar was created by Brian Buirge and Jason Boucher of Good F*cking Design Advice (GFDA).
Containing 1461 pages, the tear-off calendar brings you to the date of the 2021 presidential inauguration. It also marks special days for democracy, including voting and registration dates, government holidays and special occasions (like Putin's birthday). The satirical four year countdown calendar is described as "4lbs 7oz of pure patriotism" and notes it may make your hands appear small in comparison.
