Snarling orange 'Trump baby' blimp flies outside British parliament

LONDON (Reuters) - A blimp depicting Donald Trump as an orange, snarling nappy-wearing baby flew outside the British parliament in London on Friday, launched by critics of the U.S. president who are demonstrating throughout his visit to the country.

Trump, who arrived on Thursday, said he would avoid London as much as possible to avoid the protests.



“I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London,” he told the Sun newspaper. “I used to love London as a city. I haven’t been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?”

Many British politicians regard close ties with the United States, which they call “the special relationship”, as a pillar of foreign policy and Prime Minister Theresa May has courted Trump before the country’s departure from the European Union.

...................................................... More than 64,000 people have signed up to demonstrate in London against the visit while other protests are expected around the country. ............................................

Can the balloon baby visit the U.S.? We'd like him to visit places devastate by Trump tariffs and immigration idiocy.

Somebody, start a GoFundMe page.

much simple dignity and respect under the guise of "winning". It has all become theatre and would not matter much in the long run except the evil man has nuclear weapons.
