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.

Fine, and we find it objectionable to be uncivil to guests. I doubt Trump cared, he has actual globally important problems to deal with, in addition to our domestic ones.

Well that would explain the GoFundMe page for 500 wrist rockets...

The left can’t meme! Everything they try becomes popular with his base. The baby Trump is no different. He’s become a giant success on The_Donald, with many funny memes created.

“Drones Attack”. Coming to the evening news soon.

New Jersey. Why don’t they just nuke the east coast of it from space? I remember Bayonne, Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, etc as being shitholes to the point people were afraid to smoke and setting off gas fume explosions.

I know the environment has been cleaned up a bit (I work on those cases), but the Democrats and RINO Republicans still stink it up.

And politically, all they did was to exchange a useful Mr. Doughboy for a Marxist loudmouth governor. Sum gain ZERO.

It’d be a shame if a drone ran into the blimp.

This is so cool. I think it should first go to Lakehurst NJ. It’s a great place to display blimp-like balloons.

I don’t think that balloon will make it for very long in the USA.
