Trump baby blimp set to follow president around US
SBS News ^ | July 17, 2018

The now-famous Trump baby blimp, which flew above protests across the UK as a defiant symbol against Donald Trump last week, could soon be on its way to the US.

A GoFundMe page to get the inflatable baby Trump – complete with bright orange skin and a nappy – stateside has raised more than $10,000 in just three days.

Activist Didier Jiminez-Castro set up the GoFundMe page to raise $4,500 to get the 20-foot blimp to Bedminster, New Jersey, where Mr Trump often golfs.

He said he was blown away by the support and was now planning for it to go on a nationwide tour.

The blimp floated over Britain’s parliament during the US president’s London visit, despite the objections of some conservatives.

London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan defended his decision to let demonstrators display it.

"The idea that we would park our rights and privileges and freedoms because it may cause offence to a US president, I think people in London and the UK would find objectionable as indeed would Americans,” he said.

If the President had just one loyal person in U.S. Customs this item could be tagged as a possible I.E.D. component.

Seriously, if I ever see that thing in my neck of the woods I will fill it so full of holes with one of my air guns that it will never hold air again.

That’s what I’m thinking. The 4chan folks don’t play word games, they act!

I’ve heard that air craft are not allowed near the POTUS.
Restricted air space for a presidential visit is common.

It’s liable to catch fire, and fall down and burn their widdle heads. Public safety issue.

Sounds like Activist Didier Jiminez-Castro needs a multi-year IRS audit.

Just like would have happened to someone pulling this cr@p on Zerobama...

gleefully reported by SBS Australia, which receives $400 million (Australian dollars) from taxpayers ANNUALLY.

no need to add they suffer from TDS big-time, just like ABC Australia, which receives $1.1 billion (Australian dollars) of taxpayer money ANNUALLY.

plenty of Australians would like to see both shut down.
