Trump Baby Blimp Hits The Skies Of London During UK Visit

LONDON An enormous blimp depicting President Donald Trump as a baby throwing a temper tantrum set sail over the city Friday morning.

The blimp flew over Parliament Square for around two hours. Its the culmination of a weekslong online fundraising campaign from a group of British activists.

The president arrived in the U.K. on Thursday but is largely circumventing the capital and the massive protests against him. He paid a brief visit to the U.S. ambassadors central London residence before taking a helicopter to Blenheim Palace the monumental house where Winston Churchill was born for a lavish dinner event with British Prime Minister Theresa May.

I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London, Trump told The Sun in an interview that was published on Thursday where he also sharply criticized Mays Brexit plans.

HuffPost UKs Chris York was on the scene as the blimp was being inflated.

Donald Trump is a big, angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands, the blimps fundraising page reads. We want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him.
