Angry NJ woman vows to pop Trump baby balloon.

A pissed off New Jersey woman fed up with international hatred for President Trump vowed Thursday to deflate a giant balloon depicting him as an angry baby if it ends up flying in her home state.

Kathie Kitt Conklin, of Ocean County, launched a GoFundMe page asking for donations for the sabotage mission in light of anti-Trump enthusiasts raising more than $23,000 to bring the massive balloon to the President’s private golf club in New Jersey after it made a huge success during mass protests in London earlier this month.

I’m tired of people disrespecting our President! I plan on taking out this ridiculous balloon,” Conklin’s GoFundMe page stated.

But GoFundMe wasn’t too happy about Conklin’s destructive plan and took down her fundraiser, citing a violation of its policies. The campaign had raised nearly $300 by the time it was taken down and Conklin had pledged all the money would go towards paying her bail, should she get arrested for popping the balloon.

At least one for every major city so that there can be one for every protest in every state and if one gets ruined, it can be replaced right away.

It should really be of baby Trump with a Russian hat or some other type of Russian garment on, for accuracy.
