Giant Trump Baby Balloon May Follow Him Around the World

When Donald Trump visits London on July 13, he will be met by crowds of protesters and one giant floating balloon named "Trump Baby."

Late last week, London mayor Sadiq Khan officially approved the blimp to fly over the city after a group had raised over $30,000 on a crowdfunding website. "The mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms," the mayor's office explained in a statement. "His city operations team have met with the organizers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp."

Now, the group behind the balloon have announced that they have plans to follow Trump after his visit to the UK and go on a "world tour" with the president. On Crowdfunder, they wrote, "People have been so generous and supportive that we now have way more money than we can sensibly spend just on Trump's UK visit in July! So Trump Baby is going on World Tour! All the details are still TBC but once little Donald has been run out of Britain in July, we will start to put together an itinerary, so if your community is unlucky enough to be expecting a visit from the orange sex pest, please get in touch after the 14th."

I hope they do this.

What he feeds off is when people get down and dirty on his level. He loves that. Because it is all he knows.

But I don't think he enjoys being mocked by anybody, even people he hates, and he certainly wouldn't like being seen as a baby by the world at large.

And maybe it should hover over Oslo when Trump doesn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
